SPD Solingen Elects Ernst Lauterjung as New Leader Amidst Criticism of CDU Mayor's Campaign
The SPD city council faction in Solingen has elected a new board, with Ernst Lauterjung returning as the leader.

The election comes amidst criticism from Lauterjung of the new CDU mayor Daniel Flemm's election campaign, which he described as 'populist'.
The new board includes Ernst Lauterjung, who defeated Sabine Vischer-Kippenhahn in the election. Lauterjung's return was made possible by Preuß-Buchholz's decision not to run again. Alina Alexandra Nefissi and Salvatore Tranchina were also re-elected to the board alongside Lauterjung. The board has been expanded to include younger voices, with Florian Pinnow and Natalie Schaffert joining.
Lauterjung has criticized the new CDU mayor Daniel Flemm, describing his election campaign as 'populist'. Despite this, the SPD will continue its line from the past years, according to Lauterjung.
