The future mayor of Luxembourg City, Xavier Bettel will remain, for the time-being, head of the liberals in parliament. At a party meeting on Tuesday Bettel announced that he wanted to remain in his current position until he is sworn in as mayor.
This will probably be late November or early December once coalition negotiations between DP and Déi Gréng are completed. In Parliament on Tuesday, the DP were not able to announce who would be Xavier Bettel’s successor, but this is likely very soon.
