ÖVP Mayor Seehofer plans to withdraw-is the municipality facing new elections?

A political quake shakes the municipality of Obersiebenbrunn: The constituent meeting of the municipal council, which was scheduled for Monday, burst, after Mayor Walter Seehofer, a member of the ÖVP, surprisingly announced his absence. According to an anonymous letter that the NÖN received on Saturday afternoon, the People's Party decided to do without its six mandates to force new elections. This could lead to a deep political crisis and uncertainty in the community, especially in combination with the decision of the list, which also holds two mandates to keep away from the coordination, as the NÖN reported.

an unexpected power struggle

The cancellation of the session raises questions about the future of local politics. Political observers are alarmed because the waiver of mandates can be interpreted as a drastic step in order to redefine the balance of power. A commes to change could soon occur if the voters have to decide whether they want to support the current course of the People's Party or choose an alternative. The location is tense because it affects the entire community and could turn the local political structures upside down.

How the developments will specifically affect local politics remains to be seen. Voters and other political actors in Obersiebenbrunn are facing a decisive phase that not only brings the current mandate carriers into difficulties, but could also influence the entire political landscape in the region. The process has the potential to change the way in terms of the way in which politics is operated local, as Engerman.de reported.
