Annemarie Villiger

Annemarie Lilith Köhler Villiger (b. March 20, 2755) is the current Chairperson of the Nationale Demokratische Union and a member of the Imperial Diet. She's been a member of parliament since 2791, and NDU Chairwoman since 2797.

Early Life
Villiger was born in Marbruck, Hilgar to Hans Köhler, a shopowner, and Catherine Silber, an accountant. She attended secondary school in Marbruck and then went to the University of Hilgar, receiving a primary teaching degree in 2774. Annemarie then taught Grade 4 students at a primary school outside Marbruck. She continued teaching until September 2791, shortly after she registered with the Nationale Demokratische Union.

Politics
It was in September 2791 that Villiger became a Member of the Imperial Diet from Hilgar for the Nationale Demokratische Union. She remains in that office, along with the highest position in the NDU, which she won in December 2797. She competed against Hans Koller, another NDU Member of the Diet, for the position of Chairperson. Results came in with seventy-percent of registered NDU voters supporting Villiger for the position. In a matter of weeks following her victory, she began to return the party from its inactivity and passiveness. She took the lead in the Imperial Diet in the creation of government coalitions in hopes of finally getting the NDU in government. The first proposal failed due to conflict between the Christliche Liberale Allianz and Socialist Party of Greater Hulstria. She then had no choice but to put forward a second coalition proposal excluding the CLA, who had yet to resolve its issues with the SPGH.

Family
Annemarie Villiger married Frank Villiger, a Hilgar journalist, on August 28, 2788 in Marbruck. They had their first child, Catherine, on June 1, 2791 and their second, Alexander, on August 9, 2793.
