Political career

[edit]

Demir joined the SPD in 2010.[1] He worked in the parliamentary office of SPD member of parliament Karamba Diaby from Halle (Saale). In a member poll in the run-up to the 2021 Bundestag election, Demir won the direct candidacy in the Neukölln constituency with 51.95% to 45.18% against fellow candidate Tim Renner. Although the latter had been considered the favourite of Berlin SPD lead candidate Franziska Giffey and Neukölln district mayor Martin Hikel. [1] He subsequently won the Bundestag election against Andreas Audretsch from Bündnis 90/Die Grünen.[6] He thus entered the Bundestag as Neukölln's representative.[6] Since 8 July 2022, he has been a member of the 1st Committee of Inquiry of the 20th parliamentary term of the German Bundestag.[7] Demir is co-chair of the state working group on migration and diversity in Berlin. He is a member of the state executive committee of the SPD Berlin.[5] He is also the department chair of Department 1 of the SPD Neukölln, Rixdorf,[8][3] and a member of ver.di.[9] In parliament, Demir has been serving on the Committee on Internal Affairs.[10]

Within his parliamentary group, Demir belongs to the Parliamentary Left, a left-wing movement.[11]
