The Thuringian AfD party leader Björn Höcke wants to allow single leaders instead of a dual leadership in the future.
This emerges from an application that he wants to make with four delegates at the federal party conference in Riesa.
It starts on June 17th.
Accordingly, the statutes, which currently provide for two or three “federal spokespersons”, are to be changed in such a way that only one or two party chairmen are possible.
Tino Chrupalla is currently leading the AfD alone because his co-chairman Jörg Meuthen left the party in January.
Meuthen had justified this with an increasing radicalization of the party, he "clearly sees totalitarian echoes".

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has classified the AfD as a suspected right-wing extremist.
The administrative court in Cologne rejected a complaint by the party in the spring.
According to the judges, there is "sufficient factual evidence of anti-constitutional efforts within the party."
These would intensify if Höcke were elected to the federal executive board, said the head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Thomas Haldenwang, in May.
Höcke himself recently said at a state party conference in Thuringia that he reserved the right to run for office at the federal party conference.
He had said something similar in the past, but ultimately never ran for office.
Höcke keeps the option "open as always," according to the Thuringian AfD.
In addition, a single leader has "always been a concern" to enable "better and clearer leadership".
There had often been heated arguments between the federal spokeswoman for the party.
In Thuringia itself, however, Höcke leads the AfD as one of two chairmen.
