Chancellor Renault announces his intention to step aside following the next election
In an announcement that has surprised many commentators, members of the public and even party members, Kanzler Gerhald Renault has announced he does not intend to fight the upcoming election for a third term. During his speech, Mr Renault stated;
I have lead this great, great nation for 6 years, during which time I have overseen a period of great stability, but also a period of much reform. It is time for me to step aside, to allow a new breed of Volkspartei activists to take to leadership. These have been, without a doubt, some of the finest years of my life. I shall not forget them, but they are over, and I have no right to continue to live them when others deserve the chance. I announce my resignation as leader today, and I hope the Volkspartei can reach a consensus on my successor soon
Already, there are talks among the party as to who the new leader could be. Finance Minister Mikhael Petrov seems like the natural successor, however other party heavy-weights such as Defence Minister Freida Kalb and Health Minister Tielo Lang also have their eyes on the top job. We shall have to wait to see who will succeed Mr Renault as the Party Leader and - if their success continues - Chancellor.
