Cem Özdemir Prepares Shift to Baden-Württemberg Politics

The German Federal Minister plans to leave Berlin for his home state as he becomes the Green Party's lead candidate in the upcoming state election.

Cem Özdemir, currently serving as Germany's Federal Minister of Agriculture and Education, intends to relocate to Baden-Württemberg after his federal ministerial duties conclude.
Özdemir has been announced as the Green Party's lead candidate for the upcoming Baden-Württemberg state election.
Born in Bad Urach, Baden-Württemberg, Özdemir emphasized his connection to the state and confirmed he already has a residence there.
As a dual minister following the collapse of Germany's 'traffic light' coalition, Özdemir has continued to work from Berlin but plans to 'break camp' soon.
During a recent televised appearance, Özdemir faced limited criticism from CDU state leader Manuel Hagel, primarily focused on migration policy differences between federal and state levels.
