Alexander Dierks, a prominent CDU politician and Secretary General of the Saxon CDU, has been elected as the new President of the Saxon State Parliament. Representing an electoral district in Chemnitz, Dierks steps into the role following the retirement of long-serving President Matthias Rösler.

The CDU emerged as the strongest force in the Saxon state election on September 1st, further solidifying its influence in the region. Elder President Wolf-Dietrich Rost chaired the initial session, highlighting Rösler's contributions in bringing dignity to the parliament.

Dierks received significant support, securing 97 out of 119 votes, with only 14 against and 8 abstentions. The election of Dierks also witnessed a debate regarding the addition of a fourth Vice President, a move that faced opposition from various political figures.

This new appointment underscores the CDU's continued dominance in Saxony's political landscape and signals a new chapter in the leadership of the state's legislative body.
