Udo Witschas puts CDU chair on: Steffen Roschek as a successor?

Bautzen. In a surprising step, District Administrator Udo Witschs gives up the chair of the CDU in the Bautzen district! At the request of Sächsische.de, Witschas explained that, based on the current challenges in his function as a district administrator, he wanted to concentrate fully on them. "I have always been against leading both offices at the same time," said the politician, who succeeded Michael Harig in the summer of 2022.

The successor will be exciting! On November 9, 2024, the new district chairman will be elected during a general meeting in Crostwitz. Witschas has already brought the Bautzen entrepreneur Steffen Roschek into play. "I asked him myself and he should get the full trust of the CDU members," emphasized Witschas. Roschek will not only run for the CDU chairmanship, but also go into the race as a direct candidate for the Bundestag election 2025!

Steffen Roschek on the advance!

Roschek is currently the only candidate for both offices and sees the separation of Witschas as an opportunity for a broader line-up of the CDU. "A triple tip from the CDU district administrator, the CDU parliamentary group leader in the district council and the CDU district chairman must understand," said Roschek. The political future of the CDU in the Bautzen district could soon change significantly!
