New Kid on the Block: Serap Güler Takes Charge as Cologne CDU's First Female Chair
- CDU in Cologne elects Serap Güler as their inaugural female party leader
Let's cut to the chase! Cologne's CDU party shakes things up with a fresh face - Bundestag member, Serap Güler, stepping up as their new chairwoman. It's history in the making, y'all! On a frenzied Saturday, 75.4% (341 votes) of the Cologne CDU saw fit to elect this 44-year-old revolutionary over four blokes.
Güler ran for the top spot, claiming, "I ain't no solo act." Setting the bar high, she also declared, "Cologne don't give a damn about where you're from, it's all about whether you're ready to buckle down and sweat!" Get ready, 'cause come September's municipal elections in North Rhine-Westphalia, she's promising a hardline stance on security and order policies and an honest-to-goodness, ideology-free transportation policy for the city that never sleeps.
Serap Güler, whose journey began in Marl back in 1980 as the girl-next-door of a so-called guest worker clan, set down roots in good ol' Cologne back in 2011. She's a certified hotel management whiz, earned a degree in Germanistics, and spent four years as NRW government's integration secretary under Armin Laschet (CDU) before joining the Bundestag in 2021. Since 2012, she's been a part of the CDU's federal board.
Oh, and just in case you're wondering - she's not playing around. With a social media presence to back it up (@sgueler)[3][4], this woman means business! Keep your eyes peeled for more updates, as we're just getting started on this exciting new chapter for the CDU!
