- The Länder governments unanimously decided that Rhineland-Palatinate would chair the minister-presidents’ conference for another year.
- After the AfD’s election victory, Minister-President Sven Schulze wrote on September 8 that he intended to forgo October’s scheduled chairmanship.
- The established sequence remains unchanged; Schleswig-Holstein will assume the chairmanship in October 2027 as originally planned.
- Lawyers consider the change constitutionally possible, but the chair has no power to overrule other Länder.
I would like to thank Gordon Schnieder and Rhineland-Palatinate explicitly for taking responsibility and for continuing the chairmanship for another year. We will continue our close cooperation under the chairmanship seamlessly—the states remain able to act, and that is what matters.— Olaf Lies, the Prime Minister of Lower Saxony (SPD) and co-chair of the MPK, commenting on Rhineland-Palatinate’s continuation of the chair.
