SPD group appoints Sonja Bongers as its new leader
In the city of Osterfelde, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) city council faction held elections on Monday, resulting in a continuation of the faction's leadership. The incumbent chairperson, Sonja Bongers, was re-elected, garnering one abstention, while Manuel Prohl was elected as deputy chairperson for the first time, receiving 16 yes-votes and one no-vote.
The elections did not result in any further changes in the faction's leadership. The SPD city council faction's board remains as follows: Sonja Bongers (chairperson), Manuel Prohl (deputy chairperson), Silke Jacobs (deputy chairperson), Axel J. Scherer, Manuel Prohl, Bülent Sahin, Sonja Bongers, Dagmar Heitmann, Silke Jacobs, Claudia Salwik, Dr. Jörg Schröer, and Maximilian Janetzki.
Maximilian Janetzki, previously from Oberhausen-Ost, was elected to replace Silke Wilts, who did not run for re-election as deputy faction chairperson. Janetzki received the same number of votes as Dagmar Heitmann and Bülent Sahin in the deputy elections.
The detailed results of the deputy elections are as follows: Dagmar Heitmann - 16 votes, Maximilian Janetzki - 16 votes, Bülent Sahin - 16 votes, Axel J. Scherer - 14 votes, Dr. Jörg Schröer - 17 votes, Claudia Salwik - 15 votes.

The SPD is currently experiencing some internal challenges, as evidenced by a recent party conference where SPD leader Lars Klingbeil received only a 64% endorsement rating, reflecting intra-party divisions, especially over policy issues such as rearmament and peace advocacy. However, these internal challenges do not seem to have affected the SPD city council faction in Osterfelde.
The available search results do not provide specific results for the SPD city council faction's mid-term elections or individual position results. For detailed results of a specific SPD city council faction's board's mid-term elections, it would be necessary to consult the respective city council's official publications, SPD local party communications, or local news sources specialized in municipal politics.
The SPD city council faction's mid-term elections saw no changes in the leadership, with Sonja Bongers and Manuel Prohl continuing as chairperson and deputy chairperson, respectively. The elections also resulted in Maximilian Janetzki being elected as a deputy chairperson, replacing Silke Wilts who did not run for re-election. Despite the SPD party facing internal challenges in policy-and-legislation matters, these issues did not seem to impact the SPD city council faction in Osterfelde, as evidenced by the recent elections.
