Brandenburg Landtag to Include Three Vice Presidents for First Time

The new arrangement aims to give all four parliamentary factions representation, with the AfD set to nominate a Vice President.

The Brandenburg Landtag will expand to three vice-presidential positions, allowing each of the four main factions—SPD, AfD, BSW, and CDU—to have representation.
Current Landtagspräsidentin Ulrike Liedtke expects a smooth election process for the new parliamentary leadership, contrasting the recent turmoil in Thuringia.
The AfD, as the second-strongest faction, is expected to nominate Daniel Münschke for a vice-presidential role.
BSW leader Robert Crumbach proposed the new structure to ensure inclusive representation, emphasizing the need for all factions to collaborate constructively.
The additional vice-presidential position will incur higher costs, with each officeholder receiving a salary supplement, though the exact financial implications are still being clarified.
