Erfurt (dpa / th) - In the event of her election as federal chairman of the Left, Susanne Hennig-Wellsow wants to give up her state and parliamentary group chairmanship in Thuringia.
The politician of the “Thuringian General” said on Monday whether she would renounce her mandate in the state parliament.
"What is now clear to me: I will apply for the Bundestag as Federal Chair," she added.
Hennig-Wellsow and the Hessian parliamentary group leader of the Left, Janine Wissler, will most likely replace the previous leadership duo Katja Kipping and Bernd Riexinger after almost nine years at the top of the left next Saturday.
The election should take place at an online party conference.
There are currently no other promising candidates.
When asked about possible successors for the top positions in Thuringia, Hennig-Wellsow also gave names: “I have, and this only as examples, excellent deputies: Heike Werner and Steffen Dittes in the party, Katja Mitteldorf and Ronald Hande in the parliamentary group.
That would be found. "
She could not imagine that both positions would be held by one person as she would.
