The foreign politician Bijan Djir-Sarai is the new FDP general secretary.
At the suggestion of party leader Christian Lindner, the federal party conference on Saturday in Berlin voted for the 45-year-old politician from North Rhine-Westphalia.
Djir-Sarai is the successor to Volker Wissing, who is Digital and Transport Minister in the new federal government.
He will "never, never, never be an additional government spokesman," Djir-Sarai said.
“My mission is FDP.
My mission is a successful FDP,” he said.
Michael Link, member of the Bundestag and transatlantic coordinator in the Federal Foreign Office, has been elected the party's new treasurer.
He received 96 percent of the votes at the party congress.
It is a task "that I certainly do not take lightly," said Link in his application speech.
The 59-year-old trained translator from Heilbronn sat for the FDP in the Bundestag from 2005 to 2013 and has been a member of parliament again since 2017.
From 2012 to 2013 he was Minister of State for transatlantic issues at the Federal Foreign Office and at the same time the Franco-German representative of the federal government.
Link later worked for the OSCE for a number of years.
Since March he has been the "Coordinator for transatlantic intersocietal, cultural and information policy cooperation" at the Federal Foreign Office.
The previous treasurer, Harald Christ, resigned from office after a year and a half.
He justified this by saying that he wanted to take more care of his company and his foundation again.
