Instead of Saxony-Anhalt: Prime Minister's Conference: Rhineland-Palatinate retains chairmanship
Actually, Rhineland-Palatinate would have had to hand over the chairmanship of the conference of prime ministers to Saxony-Anhalt. But the state is keeping the post for another year.
Rhineland-Palatinate will keep its chairmanship of the Minister-President Conference 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 be giving up the scheduled chairmanship from October due to the recent election win by the AfD.
The new arrangement does not affect the future order of chairmanship, with Schleswig-Holstein set to take over in October 2027 as planned. Rhineland-Palatinate's current Minister-President Gordon Schnieder expressed his readiness to continue in the role, citing the state's existing structures.
