István Ujhelyi intends to run as the next co-chair of MSZP, the party’s MEP stated on ATV Start on Monday morning.
Ujhelyi’s announcement follows current Co-Chair Bertalan Tóth’s statement yesterday that he wouldn’t be seeking another term for the MSZP leadership position, and also after Ujhelyi stated that the party needed to undergo a radical transformation to freshen up its brand.
The fact that Tóth will be stepping down from the party’s leadership role at their party congress in September is evidence of serious political responsibility, said Ujhelyi. [Népszava]
