The candidates at a glance

The municipal election committee has approved impressive nine applicants: including 50-year-old pensioner Martin Bochmann (the party/independent), the mayor Egbert Geier (SPD), CDU politician Kerstin Godenrath and other various candidates. The lack of applications from the left, which officially supports vultures, is particularly worth mentioning. So far, the Greens and the FDP have not made any support decisions, while the AfD withdrawn their candidates shortly before the election to run instead in the Bundestag election.

The choice was scheduled for February 2, 2025, whereby the polling stations are open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. In the town house on the market square, interested parties can follow the counting of the votes live from 6 p.m. If none of the nine candidates obtain the majority of the votes, a runoff election is required on February 23, 2025. This could then take place for the Bundestag election, which also increases interest in the election. The previous mayor Bernd Wiegand resigned after a long term in September 2024, which makes the election even more meaningful, as is carried out on Halle.de
