The German Social Democratic Party (SPD) is grappling with internal leadership struggles and electoral challenges.

As the party seeks a successor to Chancellor Olaf Scholz, a power struggle emerges between Kevin Kühnert and Lars Klingbeil.

Kühnert, the current General Secretary, and Klingbeil, the party chairman, both vie for influence, each with distinct political backgrounds and strategies.

Meanwhile, in Thüringen, the SPD faces a tough electoral battle, with polls indicating a struggle to surpass the 5% threshold needed to enter the state parliament.

Lutz Liebscher, the SPD's deputy faction leader in Thüringen, campaigns vigorously, but the party contends with rising support for the AfD and voter disillusionment.

The SPD's future hinges on addressing these internal and external challenges, as it strives to maintain its relevance in German politics.
