SPD and Greens Undergo Leadership Changes Amid Challenges

Sabine Bätzing-Lichtenthäler has made history as the first female state chairperson of the Rhineland-Palatinate SPD. Sven Teuber is in the running to become the new deputy party leader.

The SPD sees this leadership transition as a step towards aligning party and parliamentary group leadership, a first in 30 years. Meanwhile, the Greens face a wave of resignations, including co-chair Ricarda Lang and Omid Nouripour.

Sven Giegold, a key figure in the Economic Ministry, is a candidate for the political executive role, signaling a potential new direction for the party. Despite these internal upheavals, the Greens have seen a slight increase in poll numbers.

Both parties are navigating a complex political landscape, with the SPD focusing on future-oriented traditions and the Greens aiming for a fresh start amidst leadership changes.
