A Fresh Start: The Left's Party Congress in Ilmenau Elects New Leadership
Thuringian Left chooses fresh leadership - Thuringian Left reaffirms party leader through election process.
Gearing up for some political action, y'all!
The Left party is about to elect fresh faces at the helm during their party congress happening in Ilmenau (10:00 AM). On the agenda? A potentially game-changing discussion about relaxing the current strict separation of roles, provided a two-thirds majority agrees to amend the party charter. This move could offer current chair of the state parliament faction, Christian Schaft, a shot at re-election as party leader.
The whippersnapper Schaft, who's been rocking the chair since 2021, has thrown his hat in the ring but has made it clear he'll only game the leadership title if there's a charter tweak. Schaft took on the role of the Left's state parliament faction co-chair after the party shifted from government to opposition following recent state elections. The Left party usually elects its board every two years.
Besides Schaft, it looks like party co-chair Ulrike Grosse-Roethig and the lesser-known Maximilian Becker are also throwing their hats in the ring. In his application letter, Becker highlights his local activism and his work behind the scenes to keep the party engine humming. According to a spokesperson, people can still send in their applications for the leadership spot when the congress rolls around in Ilmenau.
