Politicking Shifts: Losse-Müller Steps Down as SPD Leader
In a surprising turn of events, Thomas Losse-Müller, the head of the SPD parliamentary group in Schleswig-Holstein, has chosen to step down from his position on December 12th. He also declared his intention to vacate his seat in the state parliament come April 2024. The announcement was made in a letter addressed to fellow party members on a Tuesday.
Losse-Müller expressed satisfaction that he'd been re-elected as chairperson in May 2022, even after losing the initial election. He credits this stint in office for providing him with valuable insights into his strengths and weaknesses. He hopes that future leaders will seize the stage of the state parliament, allowing them to grow and make a difference.
The former chair will be moving to the Climate Neutrality Foundation, where he will take on the role of managing director for the recently-established Social Climate Council. Losse-Müller reiterated his commitment to remaining involved with the SPD (Social Democratic Party), actively contributing to substantial debates.
Worth Noting:
- Losse-Müller's resignation from the SPD parliamentary group and his state parliament seat have prompted the parties to commence internal discussions for finding a suitable replacement.
