European Council President Charles Michel plans to run in the European Parliament elections in June and will vacate his post if successful.

The EU may be seeking new leaders for both the European Commission and the European Council in the coming months.

Charles Michel is no longer running in the European Parliament elections due to 'extreme reactions' and 'personal attacks' from outside the European Council.

Michel's decision to withdraw was influenced by public criticism and the potential distraction it could cause from his current responsibilities.

European Council president Charles Michel will step down early, triggering a race to find a successor for the position.

Michel plans to stand in the European parliament elections in June and will be the head of the liberal Reformist Movement in the elections.

Charles Michel plans to resign as European Council president early to run for a seat in the European Parliament in June.

The scramble to find a successor for the EU's top job is prompted by the risk of the role falling temporarily to Hungary's Viktor Orbán.

Charles Michel has abandoned plans to quit as president of the European parliament in order to run in the European parliament, amid fears that Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orban, could take over the role.

EU leaders are considering stripping Hungary of voting rights after Orban blocked a 50bn support package for Ukraine. Michel's decision to stay as president may prevent Orban from accidentally becoming the president in July if a successor is not found quickly enough.

European Council president Charles Michel has announced he will run as an MEP in the upcoming European elections.

If elected, Michel will stand down as council president, potentially leaving the role open for Hungary's Viktor Orban.
