Volker Ullrich
Volker Ullrich is a German politician and member of the Christian Social Union (CSU), who has served as a Bundestag representative for Augsburg-Stadt since 2013. Despite winning his constituency for the fourth time in the recent elections, Ullrich lost his seat in the Bundestag due to changes in the electoral law that prioritize second votes over first votes, leading to controversy and criticism from him regarding the fairness of the new system. His reaction to a congratulatory gesture from a member of the Green Party, Claudia Roth, highlighted tensions surrounding the election reforms.
