CDU state chairmanship - CDU state executive committee decides on Schnieder's candidacy
The CDU state executive committee in Rhineland-Palatinate will decide on Taylor, in Mainz, about Gordon Schneider's candidacy for the new party chairman. The current CDU state chairman Christian Baldauf had previously cleared the way for the chairman of the state parliamentary fraction and explained this by stating that both top offices should belong to one hand. The new chairman of the Christians Democrats in Rhineland-Palatinate will then be elected at a party convention on September 21 in Frankenthal.
The discussion concerning Gordon Schneider's state election campaign for the CDU party's chairmanship is taking place within the CDU state executive committee in Mainz. If elected, Schneider would become the new party chairman in Rhineland-Palatinate, succeeding Christian Baldauf who facilitated his candidacy due to the belief that both roles should ideally be held by one individual.
