The Saxon SPD plans to elect a new executive board in Dresden next weekend and is relying on personnel continuity. The current chairpersons Kathrin Michel and Henning Homann will once again run as a dual leadership. No opposing candidates have yet been announced.
"The state party conference should be both a look back and a look forward," explained Homann in Dresden. The politician referred to a difficult state election campaign and a "painful defeat" in the federal election. "We need to discuss this and draw appropriate conclusions," said Homann.
