About six months after the failure of the FDP elections in Hamburg, State President Katja Suding announced that she would be leaving politics. “For me, next year is over,” the Bundestag deputy and federal vice president said at the party’s state conference on Saturday. She will not run in federal elections or run again for the state presidency. She is also not available again as a federal vice president.
This “is not a decision against the FDP, against the regional association or against one person,” Suding said. The decision was made for personal reasons. “It was always clear to me that I would not end my professional life with politics.” He wants to maintain his mandate in the Bundestag until the end of the legislature and will remain a member of the FDP.
Suding assumed the presidency of the state of Hamburg in 2014. In 2011 he led the Liberals to the citizenship of Hamburg. After her election to the Bundestag in 2017, she resigned her citizenship mandate.
In the citizenship elections in February 2020, the FDP simply failed to pass the five percent hurdle at 4.9 percent. Since then, the Liberals have only been represented in the state parliament by Anna von Treuenfels-Frowein, an individual member of parliament, who received a direct mandate in Blankenese.
