Bundestag, Dunburg - After three rounds of voting by the Bundestag, in which was required a qualified majority of 2/3 of the members to elect the new President, finally our lawmakers were able to elect the successor of Friedrich Alvensleben on the fourth ballot, when only a simple majority is enough to win, and they chose long-time Bundestag member for the DSDP (and once the Minister-President of Chontalen) Dr. Juliane Offenbach. 
Who is she? Dr. Hoffenbach holds a doctorate in Chemistry, obtained at the Techical University of Fuchstal, and then worked as a Professor and Researcher in the same University for some years, before deciding to enter politics twenty years ago: she said to the press at the time that she decided to start a career in politics after learning how underlooked education and research are by politics and wanting to change that. She joined the state chapter of the DSDP in Chontalen and served as Local Minister for University, position in which she was able to raise the education budget by 10%, then got elected Minister-President of Chontalen and finally elected Member of the Bundestag eight years ago. 

Dr. Offenbach was elected with a simple majority with the support of her party, which nominated her, the Greens, who supported her in the first three rounds and eventually the DRF, which threw its support to her in the fourth ballot, after having nominated Mr. Karl - Heinrich Muller in the first three. Another candidate was Karlotte Teitelbaum, of the NDZP, supported jointly by TLD (who after having retained the Presidency with Mr. Alvensleben for 10 years decided to nominate no-one) and the JSU, who congratulated Juliane immediately and thanked all the colleagues that voted for her. 

Now, Juliane Offenbach will be inaugurated next week with a ceremony taking place at Karlottenberg Schloss and in the meantime she will meet with the outgoing President, with Chancellor Berger and with a delegation of Dundorfian Ambassadors coming from all over Terra.
