Ursula Winkelsett

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ursula "Uschi" Winkelsett (* 1962 in Cologne ) is a German politician . She joined the Republican Party (REP) in 1989 . Since 1995 she has been chairwoman of the REP regional association of North Rhine-Westphalia and executive deputy of the federal chairman Rolf Schlierer . In October 1999 she was voted out of office as state chairwoman in a fighting vote and replaced by Burghard Schmanck . After differences within the party, he gave up after a short time. She succeeded him again and headed the state association of North Rhine-Westphalia until 2011.

At the European Party Congress of the REP on November 15, 2003 in Hiltrup , she was nominated as the top candidate for the 2004 European elections. In the European elections, the Republicans were able to achieve slight gains of 1.9 percent compared to the previous election, but clearly missed the five percent hurdle .

Since 1994 she has been confirmed every two years as deputy to the federal chairman Rolf Schlierer . Since 1998 she has been in office as executive deputy federal chairwoman. Despite criticism voiced by party members on the far right after the lost state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2005 , she managed to be re-elected as state chairman at the following state party congress in Herne in October 2005, despite three opposing candidates with over 70 percent of the delegate's votes .

In April 2011, because of her persistent refusal to cooperate with the regional party Citizens' Movement pro NRW , the Federal Presidium of the Republicans initiated an exclusionary procedure against Winkelsett. Furthermore, since the end of March 2010 there was no longer any legal state board of North Rhine-Westphalia of the Republicans, as Winkelsett allowed the maximum two-year period for a new election according to the law on political parties to pass. A confirmation of the exclusion was before Winkelsett by leaving on May 19, 2011.

Ursula Winkelsett is married, has four grown children and lives in Senden .
