State election - BSW state head Crumbach becomes top candidate in Brandenburg
For the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance, Robert Crumbach was elected as the leading candidate for the Brandenburg state election in September. A party congress elected the 61-year-old judge to the top of the state list on Saturday. He received 24 out of 28 valid votes. There were three no votes and one abstention.
Crumbach was elected as the state chairman of the new party in May in Schwedt. In his application speech, he spoke extremely briefly: "I am Robert, I am from Potsdam, I am 61 years old, have two wonderful children, and have been a judge by profession. And you have already gotten to know me a little in Schwedt or this morning."
The assembly of 29 voting members decided to fill 30 spots on the state list. The state organization reportedly has around 40 members in total. The Landtag in Potsdam currently has 88 representatives. The BSW received 13.8% of the votes in the European election.
The former politician of The Left, Sahra Wagenknecht, founded the BSW in January.
- Sahra Wagenknecht's newly formed party, the BSW, aims to make a significant impact in the upcoming Brandenburg state election.
- Robert Crumbach, the newly elected leader of the BSW, is set to represent the party in the aforementioned election.
- The decision to elect Crumbach as the leading candidate was made during a party congress held in Brandenburg's brand Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance.

- The small but growing BSW, with its State election candidate Robert Crumbach, will be looked upon by many as a potential game-changer in the political landscape of Potsdam.
