From 2022, Linnemann was one of five deputy chairs of the CDU, under the leadership of chairman Friedrich Merz.[2] In 2024 he became CDU general secretary after having assumed the position in an acting capacity the year prior; in 2025 he held on to the secretariat rather than becoming a member of the new goverrnment.[3] From 2013 until 2021, Linnemann had been the chairman of the Mittelstands- und Wirtschaftsunion (MIT), the pro-business wing in the CDU/CSU.[4][5]
