With 109 yes votes out of a total of 120 valid votes, Woidke achieved his best election result to date as SPD state leader.
This is the best election result to date for Woidke, who has led the party for more than ten years. “I take the result as a sign of great unity, but also determination,” said Woidke. In the election for SPD state leader in 2021, he received 84.4 percent of the votes; in 2018 it was 80.8 percent.
