Olaf Schümann newly elected: ValuesUnion MV ready for state elections in 2026!

The time had come in Neddemin on November 8, 2025: the third state party conference of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Values ​​Union took place and brought with it some innovations. The new election of the state board became necessary after the previous chairmen resigned in October. Olaf Schümann was elected as the new state chairman, and he also made a name for himself as federal managing director of the Values ​​Union. He previously served in the mayoral elections in Neubrandenburg and is now eager to bring a breath of fresh air into politics. In this election it became clear that Schümann's goal is not only the party, but above all the citizens, whom he wants to put at the center, not the party tactics.

The new board is made up of members from a wide range of social sectors, including teachers, merchants, apprentices and civil servants. This is a clear signal that the Values ​​Union relies on expertise, a sense of responsibility and realism - without any ideology. Here, management prefers to pursue pragmatic approaches and offer concrete solutions, as well Strelitzius reported.

Outlook for the 2026 state elections

Another important concern of the new state board is the establishment of additional district associations and the planning of regional events. Olaf Schümann has clearly communicated that they want to work actively on the citizen dialogue in the coming weeks. Preparations for the state elections in 2026 are already in full swing in order to further strengthen ties with the population.

The Values ​​Union sees itself as well positioned and ready to explore new paths in the political landscape. In the context of increasingly dynamic politics, returning to concrete issues and emphasizing reality seems to be a wise decision. Schümann and his team have a good hand when it comes to promoting the community approach and really reaching out to citizens.

Commitment to local people and moving away from ideological disputes could become a decisive factor in the party's success. Ultimately, it is important to take the challenges presented to politicians seriously and find pragmatic solutions. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and whether the Values ​​Union can achieve the goals it has set. All we can do is wish everyone involved that they are on the right path and that the citizens remain well represented.
