Gerhard Zeiler, president of international for Warner Bros. Discovery, looks likely to leave the company ahead of the merger with Paramount after he declared his intention to enter politics in Austria.

Zeiler recently revealed that he would make a bid for the leadership of Austria’s ruling Social Democratic Party. If selected for the role, Zeiler would replace Austrian Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler, who is the government’s number two figure. On Sunday, Babler said he would quit as leader of the Social Democratic Party next year, following unrest within the party over its decline in the opinion polls.
