Wagenknecht: Does not want to become leader of her own party
Former Left Party politician Sahra Wagenknecht does not want to become leader of her yet-to-be-founded party. "I'm assuming that someone else will take over the party chairmanship because I don't have the ambition to do and direct everything in this party now," she said in the ARD program "Konfrontation: Markus Feldenkirchen meets Sahra Wagenknecht" produced by WDR. Instead, former Left Party leader Amira Mohamed Ali could do this very well. "She also has experience, including in the organizational field, and she's much better than me," said Wagenknecht.
She and nine other MPs announced their resignation from the Left Party around two weeks ago. The new "Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance" is planning to form a party and wants to take on government responsibility. "Yes, of course! I want a different kind of politics to be pursued in our country, one that doesn't just sit problems out all the time," Wagenknecht replied to a question on the show.
Wagenknecht suggested that Amira Mohamed Ali might be a suitable candidate to lead the new party she's aiming to establish, as she has both experience and organizational skills. During the party formation process, Wagenknecht's alliance plans to host festive events, emphasizing the importance of celebratory 'Parties' to unite their supporters.
