At our federal party convention in Berlin last Saturday, we elected, among other things, a new Federal Board. It now consists of 10 members. Felix Werth remains Chair. Andreas Kabus, who was the lead candidate in this year's state election in Saxony, was elected Secretary General. The Deputy Chairs are now Nicolai Kilian and Kai Liebing, our lead candidate in the recent state election in Thuringia. Andrea Beyerlein was elected Treasurer. Further members of the Federal Board are Karl-Friedrich Harter, Dr. Nadine Saul, Udo Schmidtke, Peter Titze and Angelika Frankenberger.

We submitted a total of 1,096 verified supporting signatures to the State Returning Officer of Hamburg on time. This makes the participation of the Party for Health Research in the Hamburg state election on February 23, 2020 fairly certain. The final decision will be made by the State Electoral Committee at a meeting on December 23, 2019.

Many thanks to everyone who gave us their supporting signature, and many thanks to everyone who helped collect them!

The Party for Health Research received 0.5% of the second votes in the 2019 state election in Thuringia. Many thanks to our voters! And many thanks to everyone who helped with the election campaign! Since we are still very little known in Thuringia as well, this result is very remarkable. It shows the great potential the party has to bring our topic more strongly into public discussion and thereby to move the other parties to address our topic more and to pay attention to our demand.

The Party for Health Research received 11,628 second votes in the 2019 state election in Saxony, which corresponds to a 0.5% share of the second votes. Many thanks to all our voters! And many thanks to everyone who helped with the election campaign! This result is very good, since we are still very little known, and it shows the other parties how important the faster development of effective medicine against age-related diseases is to our voters.

The Party for Health Research received 71,006 votes in the European election, which corresponds to a vote share of 0.2%. Many thanks to all our voters! And many thanks to everyone who helped with the election campaign! Even though this result is not enough for a seat, it motivates us to keep going, and it shows the other parties how important the faster development of effective medicine against age-related diseases is to our voters. The reason why we did not receive more votes is that we are not well known. Very few people in Germany even know yet that our party exists and what exactly it stands for. Our topic is hardly part of the public discussion. We are continuing to work on changing that.
