Contest for Ludwigshafen's mayorship: AfD nominee disqualified from participation
Ludwigshafen Mayoral Election: Joachim Paul Announces Legal Appeal Against Electoral Committee Decision
Joachim Paul, an AfD politician from Koblenz, has announced his intention to appeal the decision made by the electoral committee in Ludwigshafen, following his rejection as a mayoral candidate for the upcoming election in September.
The rejection, which came with a vote of 6 to 1 against Paul, was based on doubts about his loyalty to the constitution. The exact details of the legal appeal are not yet specified, and the current status of the appeal remains unclear or unreported.
Four candidates are running in the mayoral election, with Joachim Paul being one of them. The other contenders include Jens Peter Gotter, running for the SPD; Martin Wegner, an independent candidate; and Klaus Blettner, who is running as a joint candidate of CDU and FWG.
Notably, Martin Wegner, despite being a member of the SPD, did not receive any support within the party for his candidacy. The independent mayor Jutta Steinruck is not running again in the election scheduled for September 21.
In a previous attempt, Joachim Paul had run for the position of district administrator in the Rhein-Pfalz district, but did not make it to the runoff.
The registration for the district administrator position did not face any problems, according to reports.
As the election approaches, the focus remains on the candidates and their policies, with the legal appeal by Joachim Paul adding an unexpected twist to the race. Further updates on the appeal's progress are awaited.
