Ludwig Kirchgasser

Ludwig Heinrich Kirchgasser (b. July 30, 3685) is a Hulstrian politician (LVP/LB) who has been Chairman of the LVP since 3629 and a member of the Reichstag since 3630. He was previously Minister-President of Mitrania, the first non-HDV member in that position in a while. Prior to his political career, Kirchgasser worked as a farmer and mechnanical engineer.

Kirchgasser started his political career in 3616, when he was elected to the Landtag of Mitrania. He was a supporter of Ariane von Gehrfeld in her bid to become LVP Chairwoman, and when she won the post, he was in turn chosen as Landbund leader and thus Opposition Leader in the Landtag against HDV Minister-Presidents Beat Gubler and Konrad Egli, who at times governed with absolute majorites. However, after internal squabbles in the Hosian Democrat camp, Kirchgasser in 3626 managed to break the HDV dominance in Mitrania and became Minister-President the same year. He remained in that position until 3630, when he he switched to national politics after becoming LVP Chairman after defeating his fellow Minister-President Ekkehard Borkenstein of Budenlar.
