Reality is different from the false appearances that you mention :
- This was "the Lowest Turnout in Hessen's History", with almost 40% Abstention
- Koch's Hessen local "CDU" became less "Christian" by giving some places to .. Muslim Turks, who push for more Mosquees..
=> In consequence, it's only the Liberals, the Greens, and the "Free" parties who augmented their votes, respectively, with +6,8%, +6,2% and +0,7% (added to +0,2%, +0,2% => 1,1%).
On the contrary, local Koch's CDU almost ...stagnated : +0,4%, remaining the same as before... Only the Left Party (die Linke) did so small : + 0,3%..
Apparently, the controversial Koch's local CDU received a small part of Turks and other Muslims, but ...lost an equivalent part of German Christians, (becoming Abstentionists or voting for other parties) !
But that tiny augmentation closely follows a record-high ..loss of many voters by controversial local CDU's chief, Koch, in the previous, 2008 Elections, who had lost -12% !!!
So, the only factor which explains controversial Koch's return in office (after he lost the 2008 elections), is that a small group of Turks and other Muslims left the SocDP.
=> If you "dream" of similar results at a Nation-wide Election in Germany, then CDU risks to be undermined and head towards a ...Catastroph, both for the Party and Germany, provoking grave Damages against Europe !..
Already, the controversial infiltration of a Turkish lobbyist (former doctor at Diyarbakir, during the 1993 "dirty" clashes, before going to the USA twice, and later send to Europe, where he became personal doctor of a Turkish Extremist "Grey Wolf" Muhsin Yazicioglu, accused to have "blood in his hands"), Yasar Bilgin, among CDU's EU Parliament candidates now, seems to be the reason for CDU's lower than expected showing in recent Polls...
Such an unprecedented Turkish infiltration by a foreign-lobby manager, propagandist of Mosquees, etc. started only after 2002, when the famous German Christiansocial leader Edmud Steuber quited politics : It would have been unthinkable with strong personalities as Steuber !
