In the recent Basel-Stadt elections, political stability was largely maintained, with six out of seven incumbent government members re-elected.

However, Esther Keller of the Green Liberal Party (GLP) faces a second round, highlighting the party's waning influence.

The Social Democratic Party (SP) retained its strong position, with Tanja Soland achieving the best result, attributed to Basel's robust financial health.

Meanwhile, the Swiss People's Party (SVP) and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) made slight gains in the cantonal parliament, while the GLP lost two seats.

The political landscape remains balanced, with the GLP still playing a crucial role in decision-making.

The final results will determine if Keller can secure her position in the upcoming second round.
