Pakistani-Born Citizen Gets Major Role in Germany’s Largest Political Party

A Pakistani-born professional based in Germany has been elected to a district executive position in the Christian Democratic Union (CDU).

Nouman Aziz announced that he had been elected to the District Executive Board of the CDU Kreisverband Frankenthal as a Beisitzer, a board member role within the party’s local leadership structure.

Calling it a deeply meaningful moment, Aziz said the development was not just a personal achievement but also a sign of the growing contribution of Pakistanis to German society and politics. He added that, if confirmed, he may be among the first Pakistanis to serve on a CDU district executive board in Germany.

Aziz said he hopes to use the role to serve the people of Frankenthal, promote a positive image of Pakistan in Germany, and help strengthen people-to-people, economic, and political ties between the two countries.
