The 2020 Social Democratic Radical Party of Werania leadership election was a closed primary election which was held on the 27 January 2019. The election was triggered as a result of incumbent federal Chairman Viktor Oberhauser resigning as a result of the SRPO's defeat in the 2019 Weranian general election.
Three candidates applied for the role of federal chairman - former Minister of the Economy Luise Höcherl (considered to be representing the right-wing of the party) former Minister of the Environment Stefan Kiesinger and incumbent Minister-President of Ruttland Raimundas Monkevičius (both representing the left of the party).
Höcherl won a majority in the electoral college of 352 delegates out of 589. Monkevičius scored the second most amount of votes and delegates at 124 with Kiesinger the third with 113.
