The Party for Franconia (German: Partei für Franken) also known as Frankenpartei[3] is a minor party in Germany aimed primarily at people in the Franconian regions of Bavaria.[4][5][6][7]

Elections

In 2013, the party stood for the first time in the Bavarian state election, competing in three of Bavaria's seven Regierungsbezirke; Upper Franconia, Middle Franconia and Lower Franconia.[8][9] It received 2.9% of the vote in Upper Franconia, 2.3% in Middle Franconia and 1.6% in Lower Franconia (2.2% of votes in the Franconian Regierungsbezirke and 0.7% of all votes in Bavaria).[10]

In 2014, it stood in the Bavarian local election for Feucht, Hof and Roth.[11] In Feucht, it received 4.8% of the vote, gaining it one seat,[12] in Hof it received 5.5% of the vote, gaining it two seats,[13] and in Roth it received 4.4% of the vote, gaining it one seat.[14]

Party for Franconia stood in the 2018 Bavarian state election, but unlike in 2013, only ran in Middle Franconia and Lower Franconia. It received significantly fewer votes than in 2013, garnering only 1.1% in Middle Franconia[15] and 0.8% in Lower Franconia (0.2% statewide).[16]

Goal of the Party

The Party of Franconia aims to create an Franconian free state within Germany.
