N-VA put itself now firmly in the kiesmarkt. Chairman Weaver pushed himself forward as a candidate for the Flemish government to lead, while Jan Jambon candidate to his residence in the Rue de la loi 16. Current minister-president Geert Bourgeois will be at the top of the European list. Over the last few weeks came Jambon emphatically as a candidate minister-president, though it was whispered that Bourgeois not just a step to the side wanted to convert. the
Sinardet believes that the lijstvorming partly the result of an internal compromise. "Bart De Wever as a candidate minister-president is perhaps easier to accept for Geert Bourgeois, Jan Jambon, or a lesser god. Probably, he now has less the feeling aside to be pushed, because of the large president himself his successor will be".
That N-VA-president Bart De Wever himself forwards as a candidate minister-president, for the Antwerp political science professor Dave Sinardet (VUB) as somewhat of a surprise. Especially since The Weaver had indicated that he was for six years mayor of Antwerp, would remain. "To the Antwerp voter, this is still a form of kiezersbedrog," says Sinardet.
