Witte campaigned vigorously in the 2000 election against Michael Redder and was elected Procurator in 2000. After serving as party leader and Chancellor for nearly eight years, Chancellor Witte decided to step aside at the end of 2009 as Chancellor and leader, citing poor polling and general fatigue for his Chancellorship. James Cossus Reed was selected to succeed him as leader and Chancellor, and in 2010 the National Social Union won an easy, though reduced, majority in the Concilium Daoni. Witte did not run for reelection in 2010 as Procurator, endorsing Reed instead. Following his retirement, he served in a number of unofficial capacities as an elder statesman before King Riordan VIII appointed him as special envoy to Caphiria, where he lead negotiations that resulted in the Assumption Accords. In 2015, he was appointed as Chair of the House of Guilders by King Riordan VIII. Wittonian Socialism is named for Witte's policies.
