Henning Höne hat seine Bewerbung um den FDP-Parteivorsitz zurückgezogen. Wolfgang Kubicki ist damit der einzige Kandidat für das Amt, das Ende Mai besetzt werden soll.

Der nordrhein-westfälische FDP-Vorsitzende Henning Höne tritt nicht mehr gegen Wolfgang Kubicki an. Stattdessen will er als dessen erster Stellvertreter kandidieren. Ein Sprecher der FDP Nordrhein-Westfalen bestätigte die Meldung am Freitag.

Höne begründete den Schritt damit, dass Parteimitglieder eine gemeinsame Führungslösung gewünscht hätten. Kubicki hatte angekündigt, sich bei einer Niederlage ganz aus der Führung zurückzuziehen.

Kubicki sagte der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung: „Damals hieß das Team Lindner-Kubicki, jetzt heißt es Kubicki-Höne.“ Der 39-jährige Höne führt derzeit auch die FDP-Fraktion im Düsseldorfer Landtag.

Die Einigung vermeidet einen offenen Machtkampf auf dem Parteitag Ende Mai.
