Josef Felder (born 12 July 1955) is a Weranian politician who served as Chancellor of Werania from October 2017 to May 2019 and the Minister-President of Cislania from 2010 to 2017. He is a member of the Social Democratic Radical Party of Werania.
Felder was a member of the Cislanian Landtag from 1998 to 2017, having previously been a co-ordinator for the Weranian coal miners union. In 2006 he was elected as leader of the Cislanian SRPO and led the party to victory in the 2010 regional election, being inaugurated as Minister-President in a SRPO majority government. He won re-election in 2014 in a coalition with the Weranic Section of the Workers' International.
In 2017 following the resignation of Chancellor and SRPO leader Viktor Oberhauser Felder was nominated for t0he leadership due to his self-styled "maverick" reputation which was seen as a potential boon as the SRPO suffered from very low polling. He subsequently won the leadership election and became Chancellor, entering the Volkstag in Oberhauser's former seat with initially high approval ratings. However his confrontational style failed to improve the SRPO's poll ratings which plummeted after the SRPO lost important regional elections. In November 2018 Felder's government narrowly avoided a collapse after he attempted to call an early election which was opposed by his coalition partners the Modern Centre Party.
The 2019 federal election saw a severe loss for the SRPO with Felder losing his constituency seat, although he remained in the Volkstag through a proportional seat. Felder resigned as SRPO leader and Chancellor, formally leaving office on the 28 June 2019 when he was succeeded as Chancellor by Otto von Hößlin.
