After a controversial turn of events, CDU politician Candido Mahoche bids farewell to his party following a failed bid for state parliament candidacy in Saxony.
The squabble began with Mahoche's wish to become the CDU candidate for constituency 48 in Freital for the state elections on September 1, 2024. Unfortunately, the CDU district association members rejected his candidacy without any opposition. Mahoche, 64, expressed deep disappointment, having been a CDU council member for Freital since 2014 and actively involved in societal and political pursuits.
Yet, Mahoche remains determined to continue his political journey, vowing to hang onto his city council seat. When asked about his new political home, Mahoche was cautious but acknowledged his close friendship with Freital's Lord Mayor Uwe Rumberg, who left the CDU in 2021 and started the "Conservative Center" alliance in the city.
Mahoche has built a prominent presence in Freital, born in Mozambique and arriving in GDR as a contract worker in the '80s. He settled in Freital, trained as a master brewer, started a family, and became involved in local soccer, integration work, and politics. Following his election defeat, the CDU picked a new candidate, Freital's local CDU leader, Christian Fischer (50).
