Charlotte Mann (born 29 February 1964) is a Nidwaldester politician serving as Prime Minister of Nidwalden since 1 March 2018. She is leader of the Rechte Party since the internal elections of the party in June, 2018 and acted as member of the County Council of Rhine between 1995 to 2002; in her last term in the Council, Charlotte was elected as chairman and in 2006 was elected mayor of the city of Cologne.
Charlotte was born in the capital city of Nidwalden, Cologne, in the bosom of a political family leader of the Rechte. Her father was great-grandson of the former Prime Minister of Nidwalden Hildegard Mann and great-great-grandson of the also former Prime Minister of Nidwalden and most well-known figure of the Nidwaldester politics, Ludwig Mann. As part of the Mann family, Charlotte followed the political direction of these political figures; since young she was member of the Young Rechte and showed a great opposition to the liberal-conservatives ideals that the party took after the Kristensen-Hartling Era, referring to them many times during interviews as exported doctrines from the Nationalist Party that are found far from the principles of the Rechte. During her youth, Charlotte studied Political Sciences at the University of Cologne and International Relations at the Bremen-Nassau University, graduating from both with summa cum laude, the highest honors in Nidwalden.
Following the national elections in 2002 and the massive defeat of the Rechte against the Social Democrats, Charlotte was elected leader of her party and was advocated to solve the situation by leaving on a side the factions found more at the right of the political spectrum. Charlotte Mann has criticised past coalitions made with the Nationalist and Die Demokraten parties and during the elections of 2018, she has stated that the Rechte should find more points for a coalition with the Social Democrats rather than with the Whites or Democrats. Her administration between 2018-2022 was marked by the rise of tension between the Lorecian Community and Belka in the case of the Belkan invasion to Arstotzka. Charlotte Mann is the sixth woman to be Prime Minister of Nidwalden and at the moment, she is the only woman acting as Head of Government in the Lorecian Community.
