Sven Schulze remains CDU state leader in Saxony-Anhalt - Sven Schulze secures CDU leadership with 88.2% vote ahead of 2026 Saxony-Anhalt election
Sven Schulze has been re-elected as the CDU state chairman in Saxony-Anhalt with overwhelming support. He secured 88.2% of the vote, confirming his leadership role ahead of the 2026 election. Schulze currently serves as the region’s economics minister in a coalition government.
The re-election took place during a party conference where Schulze was confirmed as the CDU’s top candidate for the upcoming state election. The vote for Saxony-Anhalt’s new parliament is scheduled for September 6, 2026.
Schulze holds a key position in the current government, which includes the CDU, SPD, and FDP. His role as economics minister adds weight to his campaign as the party prepares for the election.
At the national level, the CDU is led by Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who took office on May 6, 2025. Merz’s leadership may influence the party’s strategy in Saxony-Anhalt as Schulze gears up for the vote.
With Schulze at the helm, the CDU will enter the 2026 election with a strong mandate from its members. His re-election as state chairman and position as top candidate set the stage for the party’s campaign. The outcome of the September vote will determine Saxony-Anhalt’s political direction for the next term.
