She got more attention than any other candidate: Now the FDP politician Annina Ucatis-Semmelhaack can celebrate, her political career is picking up speed.
Great cheering for Annina Ucatis-Semmelhaack on Sunday evening in Elmshorn: The FDP politician was elected to the city council of the 52,000-inhabitant city in the local elections in the evening. Ucatis-Semmelhaack is no stranger, because of her past and her new love, the 47-year-old made headlines nationwide during the election campaign.
As Annina Ucatis, she previously shot several porn films, moved into the “Big Brother” house and appeared on Mallorca as a Ballermann singer. At the end of 2022 it became known that she loved the FDP member of the Bundestag Hagen Reinhold. As a result, a public separation dispute developed with Reinhold’s ex-partner, the FDP politician Karoline Preisler. She accused him of cheating on her for months. Semmelhaack himself was previously married to real estate millionaire Theodor Semmelhaack.
Ucatis roll chop gets strong FDP result
But now the election victory: Ucatis-Semmelhaack told the “Bild” newspaper at the election party in Elmshorn: “I’m totally happy, the hard election campaign was worth it. I won’t disappoint my voters.” In her constituency, she got 11.9 percent, slightly better than the city-wide Liberals (10.4 percent).
The FDP has had to take a few hits in state elections since it governed at federal level with the SPD and the Greens. In Bremen, according to the first projections by ARD and ZDF, the party narrowly manages to regain citizenship with losses; it comes to 5.2 percent (2019: 5.9). It is unclear whether the nationwide attention to Ucatis breadcrumbs and her love for the FDP member of the Bundestag Reinhold in Schleswig-Holstein helped.
Overall, the FDP achieved 6.8 percent of the votes in the northernmost state on election Sunday – after counting most of the results from the districts and urban districts. The Liberals were thus able to roughly match the result of 2018.
For the state chairman of the Liberals, Oliver Kumbartzky, a reason to celebrate: The Liberals managed to keep the result of the 2018 election, said Kumbartzky on Sunday evening. “We can be satisfied with that, because it is one of the best results for the Free Democrats in Schleswig-Holstein in local elections in recent decades.”
