Ralf Lehnhard: New hope for the left in the Ostallgäu!

In the political landscape of the Ostallgäus, a change has changed: Ralf Lehnhard was elected as the new candidate for the Ostallgäu constituency of the "Die Linke" party. This happened at a representative assembly that took place in the Kempten trade union house. The 52-year-old Lehnhard is currently working as a Susanne Ferschl employee, who has been sitting in the German Bundestag since 2017.

Ferschl had announced in the summer of 2024 that she would not run for a third term. In her farewell speech, she regretted regret about the dusting within the party, in particular by founding the "Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW)", which she felt as a division. Ferschl plans to face new challenges.

These measures illustrate the efforts of the party to remain close to the needs of citizens and to offer corresponding solutions.
