Wahl-Sensation: Lech has a new list, Mayor has to tremble!
Only recently took the political landscape in the municipalities of Lech and Hard in Vorarlberg unforeseen turns. In the mayoral election in Lech, the newly founded list "Together for tomorrow" caused a small sensation by taking first place with 38.61 percent of the votes, as vorarlberg.orf.at . This list is focused on tourism and the expansion of kindergarten places. Her main rival, the "List Lech", under the leadership of the acting mayor Gerhard Lucian, lost significantly and shrank by 7.49 percentage points. It is unclear whether Elias Beiser will also strive for the mayor's office with his list, according to the surprised election result. In Hard, Mayor Martin Staudinger had to give up with 29.94 percent of the vote and now competed on March 30 in a runoff election against René Bickel, who was able to prevail with his list "Future Hard".
results in Hessen confirm the trend
In Hesse, the mayoral elections were similarly exciting. There was no clear decision in six communities, including Hofheim and Mörfelden-Walldorf, while others, like Aarbergen, produced clear winners. Marion Janßen was able to prevail in Aarbergen with an impressive majority of 70.5 percent, such as hessenschau.de . In Hofheim there will now be a runoff election between the incumbent Christian Vogt from the CDU and Wilhelm Schultze after Vogt failed a little more than the absolute majority with 48.1 percent. A second ballot will also be required in Mörfelden-Walldorf, since Thomas Winkler from the Greens and Karsten Groß from the CDU could also not get a sufficient majority.
Further election results show that incumbent in Alsbach-Hähnlein and Hohenroda have been confirmed. Sebastian Bubenzer received 79.4 percent, while Andre Stenda was re -elected with 83.1 percent. Markus Kern from the CDU becomes the new mayor in Gründau after winning the election with 64.5 percent. These results mark a clear trend in the electorate, which demands increasingly clear decisions from the existing structures.
