There's a storm brewing in the Left party, as Janine Wissler, chairwoman of the party's parliamentary group in the Hessian state parliament, is set to attend Thuringia's Left party congress next Saturday. Reports by Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) suggest that she'll also deliver a welcome speech[1]. This move is significant, as both Wissler and Thuringia's party and parliamentary group chairwoman Susanne Hennig-Wellsow are competing for the federal party chairmanship.
Bodo Ramelow, Thuringia's Minister President, has thrown his hat in the ring for these candidates, openly appealing for a "strong new start" for the Left party with Wissler and Hennig-Wellsow leading the way[2]. As the election nears, fewer and fewer alternative candidates are expected to surface, with Wissler and Hennig-Wellsow as frontrunners[3].
However, the question remains: will these powerful women vie for the same spot, or will one opt for the opening available to both women and men? Recent rumors suggest former federal manager Matthias Höhn may return to the scene, as he's reportedly in talks for the position once again[4]. After departing the post in the wake of disagreements with then chairpersons Katja Kipping and Bernd Riexinger, Höhn could potentially take over from his successor, Jörg Schindler.
The whisperings around the party have been growing louder, and the eagerly anticipated congress is scheduled to take place in Erfurt on October 31 and November 1[5]. Stay tuned for more updates on this high-stakes political chess match!
(In case you missed it: The current co-chairpersons of Die Linke in Germany are Ines Schwerdtner and Jan van Aken. The upcoming leadership changes, however, have not been officially announced yet.)
