Around 50 members adopted the statutes of the state association and elected an executive committee. Nafiur Rahman, 27, from Bad Vilbel, was elected chairman by a clear majority. 47 of the 50 eligible voters present cast their ballots for him; there were no opposing candidates. Pascal Schleich was elected deputy chairman.
Rahman, who already sits on the federal executive board of the GD and works for AfD member of parliament Pierre Lamely, announced that he would make the "revival of patriotism" a central focus of his work, as reported by the "Hessenschau" news program. The 27-year-old is the child of immigrants from the Bengal region and has been a member of the AfD for about three and a half years. Previously, he was active on the Hessian state executive board of the Young Alternative.
At the founding event, GD Federal Chairman Jean-Pascal Hohm described the youth organization as the party's "engine of innovation." At the same time, he demanded that the AfD clearly represent its positions as a "patriotic people's party" and make no compromises, especially on identity issues.
