Today our Saxony-Anhalt state association was founded. This means the Party for Health Research already has a total of 13 state associations. The first major goal of the Saxony-Anhalt state association is successful participation in the state election on June 6.
Election program for the 2021 state election in Saxony-Anhalt
The Party for Health Research received 0.4 percent of the votes in the two constituencies in which it took part in the state election in Baden-Württemberg. Many thanks to our voters! And many thanks to everyone who helped with the election campaign! Our result in the state election is a clear improvement over our performance in the 2019 European election, in which we achieved 0.1 percent of the votes in Baden-Württemberg. Since the Party for Health Research and our demand are still very little known, there is a lot of potential to receive considerably more votes in future elections.
We have submitted our nominations for the constituencies of Stuttgart IV and Ulm completely and on time, i.e. including a sufficient number of supporting signatures. This makes the participation of the Party for Health Research in the state election in Baden-Württemberg on March 14, 2021 in these two constituencies fairly certain. The final decision on the admissions will be made by the electoral committees at their meetings on January 19, 2021.
For three further constituencies we had collected supporting signatures, but unfortunately did not manage to gather the required number on time. This was due to the coronavirus situation, which makes collecting very difficult.
Many thanks to everyone who gave us their supporting signature, and many thanks to everyone who helped collect them!

The Party for Health Research received 7,792 votes in the Hamburg state election, which corresponds to a 0.2% share of the second votes. Many thanks to our voters! And many thanks to everyone who helped with the election campaign! Our result in the state election is a clear improvement over our performance in last year's European election, in which we achieved 0.1% of the votes in Hamburg. Since the Party for Health Research and our demand are still very little known, there is a lot of potential to receive considerably more votes in future elections.

At the Undoing Aging 2019 conference, we interviewed many scientists and activists. Here is our interview with Dr. Nir Barzilai.
In German-language media, Dr. Nir Barzilai has recently appeared frequently in connection with his TAME study (Targeting Aging with Metformin). Here are some example media links:

In order to make our party a little better known among voters before the Hamburg state election on February 23, 2020, we want to put up 1,000 election posters in Hamburg. For this we are asking for donations. The fundraising campaign ends on January 7, 2020.
More information about the fundraising campaign is available here.
At our state party convention in Hamburg on December 23, 2019, we adopted our election program for the Hamburg state election on February 23, 2020.
We demand that an additional 5% of the state budget be invested in the development of effective medicine against age-related diseases. Since all people are directly or indirectly affected by age-related diseases, all people would also benefit from this. Half of these additional investments is to go into the construction and operation of new public research facilities. The other half is to be used to train more people in the relevant fields and to expand the corresponding departments at universities.
In our view, for ethical and economic reasons it is very important to considerably accelerate the development of effective medicine against age-related diseases through substantially more public investment.
Here is our election program for the 2020 Hamburg state election
