Saxony's Green Party state chairwoman was only narrowly confirmed in office on Saturday. One day later, Christin Furtenbacher withdrew - she lacked the support of her party.

One day after the state executive elections of the Greens in Saxony, state chairwoman Christin Furtenbacher has announced her resignation. She announced that her result in the election had hit her hard. "I had to come to the conclusion that I no longer have sufficient support as state chairwoman in our state association." Only 57% of delegates had confirmed Furtenbacher in office in the second round of voting.

"I have realized that I cannot lead our state association through this important federal election campaign under these conditions," the politician continued. "The delegates obviously didn't see me in this team and withdrew their trust in me. And I now also lack the trust that is needed for a powerful and successful parliamentary election campaign." She is therefore stepping down from the position of state chairwoman.

After the poor performance of the Saxon Greens in the last state election, the state assembly in Chemnitz confirmed all previous members of the party leadership in office on Saturday.
