Former state secretary and party member Mona Keijzer is leaving the CDA. This was confirmed by a spokesperson for the party, RTL Nieuws reported. The spokesperson would not comment on the reasons for Keijzer's departure. According to RTL, however, she had been critical of the possible candidacy of Nijmegen Mayor Hubert Bruls for the list leader position. Her criticism had not been taken seriously by party chairman Hans Huibers, RTL said. That was the drop in the bucket for her.
