Christian Dürr bleibt vorerst FDP-Chef, sieht sich aber mit einem möglichen Machtkampf konfrontiert. Nach Kritik an seiner Führung, insbesondere nach Wahlniederlagen, kündigte Dürr an, sich im Mai auf dem Parteitag einer Neuwahl zu stellen, obwohl seine Amtszeit regulär länger dauern würde. Der Landesvorsitzende von Nordrhein-Westfalen, Henning Höne, wird als möglicher Gegenkandidat gehandelt. Um die Neuwahl zu ermöglichen, tritt der gesamte Bundesvorstand der FDP zurück, was symbolisch für einen Neuanfang stehen soll. Dürr bewirbt sich somit innerhalb eines Jahres zum zweiten Mal um den Parteivorsitz und will in Kürze seine Strategie zur Erneuerung der FDP vorstellen.
