Three duos are applying for the dual leadership of the Berlin SPD.
It is now clear that the party base will have a say in choosing the new leadership.
Berlin - In Berlin's SPD, the members decide on the party's new dual leadership.
The SPD state executive committee decided this on Monday, as a spokesman for the German Press Agency announced upon request.
The “Tagesspiegel” had previously reported.
Details of implementation and the schedule are still being discussed, it said.
They will be announced later.
Based on the member survey, the party leadership will then be elected at a party conference on May 25th.
Three applicant duos had applied for the dual leadership position in the past few weeks.
The acting co-chairman and SPD parliamentary group leader Raed Saleh is running together with the district politician Luise Lehmann from Marzahn-Hellersdorf.
Neukölln's district mayor Martin Hikel is applying together with former state secretary Nicola Böcker-Giannini.
The third duo consists of the previous deputy state chairman Kian Niroomand and the co-chair of the Berlin SPD women, Jana Bertels.
