Sunday, in Grimisuat, in Valais, the second round of the election to the presidency of the commune knew a conclusion described as “extremely rare” by “The Nouvelliste“. Indeed, it was necessary to flip a coin to decide between two candidates.
The verdict, details the Valaisan daily, fell at 12:49 p.m., after several recounts. “Myriam Erné-Savioz, 634 votes, Raphaël Vuigner, 634 votes. 90 blank ballots, ”it was announced.
“I choose face, then I change my mind”
In the event of a tie, the law is clear: it is a coin which must designate the winner. In this case a 2 franc coin. “I choose face, then I change my mind. I finally opt for battery, “testified the elected PDC Myriam Erné-Savioz. Wrong choice: it was faced. Cruel to her.
It is therefore his competitor Raphaël Vuigner, of the citizen movement Grimisuat Autrement who becomes president of the commune. With this stroke of fate, specifies “Le Nouvelliste”, “for the first time in history, the orders of the Municipality escape the Christian Democrats.”
The piece that sealed the election.
