Baden-Württemberg's Interior Minister Thomas Strobl wants to continue to lead the state CDU in the future.
As the German press agency learned, the 61-year-old announced on Friday evening in committee meetings of the Southwest CDU in Stuttgart that he wanted to apply again for the state chairmanship at the party congress on November 13th.
However, he did not want to run for the deputy federal chairmanship at the federal party congress in January, according to participants.
Stuttgart - After the historically weak results in the state and federal elections, there is also strong criticism of the leadership and the call for staff renewal in the Southwest CDU.
It is still unclear whether Strobl will have an opponent in the election as head of the country.
