Solidarität Looks to the LeftNew Leader Resigns from Centre-Right CabinetSeptember 4598Map of New Nationalrat, following 4598 electionsHALDOR, KORDUSIA - In the lead-up to the Dorvish elections of 4598 - the first since long-time Head of State-candidate Ingolf Gansz passed away - Solidarität's party apparatus decided to endorse the Sozial-Liberale Liste's Marie von Limben. von Limben had long been the second-round candidate for Solidarität, dating back to the days of the SLL and Sol's alliance to terminate Metzist, single-party rule. von Limben performed poorly in the election, failing to even make it into the second despite Solidarität's endorsement in Round 1.
The Secretariat, which manages Solidarität's party organization, then held a ballot of party members to determine the successor for Gansz. The two leading contenders were Internal Affairs Minister Florian Kautz, who sought to move the party away from political agreements wit the centre-right, and Sigrid Eichmann, the Health and Social Services Minister who wanted to preserve the status quo.
Following the defeat of von Limben's bid for the Head of State, many in Solidarität's party base decided that it was time for a change of pace. Especially given the surge in the polls of the Grüne Zentrumspartei (GZ) which is to the left of both the Hosianische Demokratische Partei (HDP) and Sozial-Liberale Liste (SLL), Florian Kautz's pitch to the party base was better received. After being elected Leader of Solidarität, Kautz and his fellow Ministers resigned from the Schopenhauer Ministry.
According to a source familiar with Kautz's communications, he has reached out to both GZ and the Metzisme Kommunistische partei to try to cobble together a governing coalition on the centre-left, more in-line with Solidarität's policy positions.The decades-old relationship between Sol, HDP, and SLL is being called into question with these latest moves.
