FELDER REPLACES GIMBEL AS NDZP LEADER
 
ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER
 
Neukirchstadt, May 4, 5715: At Neue Dundorfische Zentrumsparteri (NDZP) Headquarters in Neukirchstadt, NDZP leadership accepted the resignation of former Federal Chancellor Frieda Gimbel as Party Leader and considered candidates to replace her.
 
Gimbel had served three times as Federal Chancellor, and she felt a new fresh approach to rebuild from Opposition was in order.
 
Although many thought Federal President Hans Meyer would be a good choice, he thought it best to serve out his term rather than leap into party leadership.  Besides which Meyer believed either former Defense Minister Bruno Steigerwald or former Interior Minister Hermann Felder were more ready to lead the Opposition.
 
Felder was actually interested in the job while Steigerwald wanted to focus on national defense rather than lead the party.  A formal vote endorsing Felder as Party Secretary and Opposition Leader followed.
 
Felder has an academic background serving as Head of the Nuclear Power Engineering Program at Karl Ulrich Universitat in Unterschloss before serving in the Bundeskabinett.
