Potsdam's Mayor Beamed Out - Hunt for a Replacement Kicks Off
Search for a New Mayor Begins in Potsdam as Current Term Concludes - Council President's term arrives at an end - hunt for the next occupant commences
Gear up, folks! The sun has set on Potsdam's recently recalled Mayor, and the race to pick his successor is heating up! The election committee, after a morning meet-up, sealed the deal with the official vote count.
36,230 citizens rocked the vote in favor of axing the SPD mayor, while a meager 16,794 stood by him. A pinch above the minimal voter turnout required for the May 25 recall vote, ensures this political drama continues.
Political heavyweights are now bustling about getting their candidates ready for the mayoral face-off, scheduled some time between September and October, as per the election supervisor's estimates. No specific date's been set in stone just yet.
The SPD is eyeing July 5 for their party conference, where they'll crown their candidate for the big chair. The Greens, on the other hand, are chatting it up soon to decide on a cross-party contender.
There's a swirling list of potential SPD mayoral hopefuls, including the former deputy mayor of Potsdam, Noosha Aubel. She's currently an independent city counselor and department head in Flensburg. The rumor mill's a-spinnin', but no hard facts have been spilled yet.
Rumors and whispers have also surfaced, naming the President of the University of Potsdam, Oliver Günther, as a potential SPD contender. However, dpa sources claim he's got no plans to move from the ivory tower to the mayor's seat.
