CDU experiences satisfaction with the "significant milestone triumph"
Bergisch Gladbach, Germany - The future direction of Bergisch Gladbach is set to be decided in the upcoming mayoral runoff election on September 28th. The CDU candidate, with a small lead, is poised to take the position of mayor, following their impressive performance in the recent municipal election.
The CDU swept the city council elections, securing all direct mandates, with a vote percentage above the state average at 36.47%. This success was echoed in the district council elections, where all candidates also won their constituencies directly.
Robert-Martin Kraus, one of the elected city council candidates, made a significant impact in the mayoral race. He ran against the SPD and Green mayoral candidate in his constituency and emerged victorious, securing a council seat in the process.
Dr. Michael Metten, the faction leader, expressed his support for Alexander Felsch, the CDU's mayoral candidate, in the runoff election. Felsch narrowly took the lead in the mayoral race, and his opponent in the runoff election is Marcel Kreutz.
The two candidates will face off in a debate on Saturday, September 20th, at 12 PM at the castle steps in Bensberg. The debate will be an opportunity for voters to hear the candidates' visions for the future of Bergisch Gladbach before casting their votes.
Thomas Hartmann, CDU chairman, described the election results as a great evening and an important milestone. He expressed joy over the results, and all elected city council candidates, along with a large group of other campaigners, are highly motivated for the next two weeks leading up to the mayoral runoff election.
After the election, visitors can attend the Bensberg autumn festival at the same location, providing a festive conclusion to the election period. The mayoral runoff election promises to be a significant event for Bergisch Gladbach, and the community eagerly awaits the outcome.
