The elections for the new term of office from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028 took centre stage at the Assembly of Delegates of the Federation of Migros Cooperatives (FMC) on Saturday. The approximately 100 delegates of regional Migros cooperatives from all over Switzerland present re-elected Ursula Nold as Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of the Federation of Migros Cooperatives (FMC) with a large majority. They also confirmed all the members of the Board of Directors.

“I will continue to work with full conviction for a Migros that remains economically strong, socially relevant and committed to its cooperative aspirations,” declared Ursula Nold after her election. “The Migros Group will continue to act with clear entrepreneurial focus while fulfilling its responsibility for a Switzerland worth living in – for everyone. At the same time, we will continue to evolve wherever markets, customer expectations and competition change.”
