The leadership of Germany's Left Party, Die Linke, is undergoing a significant transformation as co-chairs Janine Wissler and Martin Schirdewan announce their decision to step down.

This move comes amid a series of electoral defeats and internal strife, exacerbated by the split with Sahra Wagenknecht's new party, BSW.

The Brandenburg branch of Die Linke views this leadership change as an opportunity for renewal, especially with upcoming state elections in September.

Party leaders emphasize the need for unity and a fresh start to overcome the current crisis.

The Left Party has been struggling in polls, barely reaching the five percent threshold needed to remain in state parliaments.

As the party prepares for its October congress, the focus is on rebuilding and redefining its role as a social conscience in a profit-driven society.
