Although the latter had been considered the favourite of Berlin SPD lead candidate Franziska Giffey and Neukölln district mayor Martin Hikel. He subsequently won the Bundestag election against Andreas Audretsch from Bündnis 90/Die Grünen. He thus entered the Bundestag as Neukölln's representative. Since 8 July 2022, he has been a member of the 1st Committee of Inquiry of the 20th parliamentary term of the German Bundestag.
