FDP's State Leader Henning Höne Aiming High for Federal Vice-Chair Position
- FDP leader, Höne, aims for Federal Vice Presidency role
North Rhine-Westphalia's FDP state leader, Henning Höne, is making a power play for the position of the Federal Vice-Chair of the Free Democrats. The 38-year-old from Coesfeld took to Instagram to call for a new fundamental program, stressing the importance of involving not only the party but also critics, interested parties, and societal voices in the process. As the head of Düsseldorf's state parliament fraction, Höne isn't shying away from making some noise in the political realm.
The Liberals are conspicuously absent from the new Bundestag, and Höne calls for more than just tactical discussions about a re-election. The liberal party insists that "Why does the FDP need to be in the Bundestag?" should be convincingly answered if one hopes for long-term success.
Board elections are slated for mid-May
Höne emphasizes the need for an independent liberal line for the party. He argues, "There's no room for a right or left FDP in the Bundestag. Liberalism is not a compromise - it's an independent political direction." The new board will be elected in mid-May at the Federal Party Conference in Berlin. Christian Dürr, a former chairman of the Bundestag fraction, is running for the succession of the party leader, Christian Lindner.
