A proud moment for Pakistan as Waseem Butt has been unanimously elected as the first Muslim parliamentary leader of the Heidelberg Parliament following the 24 July 2024 election.
The newly formed parliamentary group HiB/Volt welcomes Wasseem Butt as the new parliamentary leader of the Heidelberg Parliament in late July 2024.
Andreas Gottschalk was chosen as his deputy, whose appointment suggests that the group is committed to collaborative leadership.
Butt comes to position with over ten years of experience as local councilor, which was allegedly pivotal in his selection as parliamentary leader.
Butt says that his priorities include affordable housing, eco-friendly transportation, and economic and social development.
The recent appointment of Butt is widely perceived as a statement on unity and equal opportunities for talented individuals who come from diverse backgrounds.
In his maiden speech, Butt expressed gratitude to the members for the honor and trust shown, represented by the 280,000 votes received by him and his party.
He also reaffirmed his commitment to advancing Heidelberg’s goals and ensuring that the results of this political bring tangible benefits to the community.
