SPD's Schleswig-Holstein Parliamentary Group Prepares for New Leader Election
The SPD parliamentary group in Schleswig-Holstein's state parliament is set to elect a new leader on Tuesday, following Thomas Losse-Müller's resignation. As of now, no official candidates have stepped forward, but there are rumors of several party members preparing to run for the position.
Among the potential contenders, Serpil Midyatli stands out. Midyatli previously held the position of group leader and served as the state chairwoman of the SPD. Despite Losse-Müller's announcement as the failed top candidate after the party's disastrous 2022 state elections, Midyatli had to relinquish her position to make way for him. The SPD's poor performance resulted in a 16% vote share and the loss of all constituencies, making them the third-largest parliamentary group in the state parliament.
Losse-Müller himself plans to leave his seat in the state parliament and become the Managing Director of the Climate Neutrality Foundation in April.
