Social Democrat General Secretary Kevin Kühnert is resigning one year before the general election.

The resignation comes at a critical time for Chancellor Olaf Scholz's center-left party.

The party's national poll ratings are at just 16% . In September , the two leaders of the Green Party resigned.

He was Kühnert 's predecessor as secretary general and led the election campaign that brought Olaf Scholz into the chancellorship. "It is my firm conviction," Klingbeil said in Berlin , "that success can be organized." This article was originally written in German .
