Coordination body: Instead of Saxony-Anhalt: Rhineland-Palatinate continues at the top of the MPK
Actually, the baton would have soon been passed to Saxony-Anhalt - but now Prime Minister Schnieder is keeping the chairmanship of the committee of state government leaders for another year. What does this mean?
Rhineland-Palatinate will continue to chair the Conference of Minister-Presidents for another year, following a unanimous decision by the heads of state. The move comes after Saxony-Anhalt's Minister-President Sven Schulze announced he would forego the chair, which was set to pass to his state in October, after his party, the AfD, won elections there.
Schleswig-Holstein will take over the chair in October 2027 as planned. The Conference of Minister-Presidents is an informal coordination body between states and with the federal government.
