NRW State Parliament President Kuper Not Running Again in 2027 - André Kuper steps down after decades in North Rhine-Westphalia's politics
André Kuper, the long-serving president of North Rhine-Westphalia's state parliament, has announced he will not seek re-election in the next state vote. After nearly two decades in politics, he plans to step back and allow younger leaders to take over.
Kuper has led the Landtag since 2017 and is now in his second term as president. His decision means he will leave office when his current term ends in May 2027. Until then, he has promised to carry out his duties with full commitment.
No potential successor has been named yet for the role. The search for a replacement will likely begin as the election approaches.
Kuper's departure marks the end of an era for the state parliament. His exit will open the door for new leadership when his term concludes. The focus now shifts to who will take on the presidency after 2027.
