During the vote for a new SPD State Executive Committee on 7 June 2008, Bausewein was not re-elected. The main reason for this was that he was involved in an internal party struggle between the current chairman Christoph Matschie and his predecessor Richard Dewes for the position of chairman. At the party convention on 6 March 2010, Bausewein was elected with 57 percent of votes in favour for the second time as one of the four vice-chairpersons of the state party. Bausewein scored the worst result of the candidates for the position of deputy national chairman.
