CDU state associations
CDU state associations refer to the regional branches of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), a major political party in Germany. Each state association operates within a specific federal state, addressing local issues and representing the party's interests at the state level. These associations elect their own leadership and help shape party policies to fit regional needs, while also contributing to the overall direction of the CDU. They play a vital role in mobilizing support, organizing campaigns, and selecting candidates for state and federal elections.
