Klingbeil leads SPD to the election shock: power game or self -authorization?

Three days after the historical election defeat of the SPD, the course for the new leadership is set: Lars Klingbeil was elected chairman of the parliamentary group. With 85.6 percent of the vote, he received significantly less support than his predecessor Rolf Mützenich in previous elections. Klingbeil, who is considered a strong man of the SPD, will lead the party to the talks about a potential coalition with the Union. However, it remains unclear whether he stays as a parliamentary group after successful negotiations or moves to the federal government, possibly as a vice-chancellor, as OE24

In the shadow of the defeat, the party leadership of criticism arises. Juso chairman Philipp Türmer and the former party strategist Matthias Machnig express themselves skeptically about Klingbeil's approach. Türmer spoke of a fatal impression of failure, while Machnig denied a self -empowerment. The SPD, whose share of votes has dropped from 25.7 to 16.4 percent, is in the most severe crisis in its history. The faction shrinks dramatically from 207 to 120 MPs. Chancellor Olaf Scholz has already made it clear that he will not be involved in the formation of the government, which continues to complicate the situation.
