---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------REINMANN RESIGNS, MORITZ KOHLBERG ELECTED LEADERAfter the devastating election results 3 years ago and a devastating defeat for Reinmann personally after losing the presidency Reinmann has announced his resignation as party leader---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------He came in as the outsider who would reform the age old dorvish conservative party and make it a player in dorvish politics once more. After winning two elections and spearheading the grand reform of the dorvish political system Reinmann lost his third election and was subsequently voted out of office by the people. His party shrunk in size drastically and now stands at 61 seats, lower then it has ever been. Seeing this major defeat and his major goals accomplished anyway Reinmann announced his resignation as party leader earlier this week prompting a immediate party election to determine the next party leader and therefor presidential candidate of the DKP party.
The election results were as followed during the party congress in Miktar:
Candidates:
Eckhart Platz (Centrist, Liberal Conservative)
Annemarie Reinmann (Wife of Former president Reinmann, Center-Right, Liberal Conservative, Hawkish)
Moritz Kohlberg (Hawkish, Right Wing, Soft Nationalist, Traditional Conservative)
Results
First Round:
Eckhart Platz: 12% of the vote
Annemarie Reinmann: 41% of the vote
Moritz Kohlberg: 47% of the vote
Second Round:
Annemarie Reinmann: 48% of the vote
Moritz Kohlberg: 52% of the vote
Moritz Kohlberg was elected party leader of the DKP
With the election of Moritz Kohlberg the DKP is clearly appealing to the right of the party in a effort to regain votes from the DVP and win the presidency next year. Kohlberg is seen as the leader of the right wing of the party and is from this day onward leader of the party as a whole. It remains to be seen if Kohlberg can regain the initiative for the party and bring it back to the forefront of Dorvish politics after its recent election defeat.
