The city of Düsseldorf is gearing up for its upcoming municipal and Integration Council elections, scheduled to take place on September 14. The race for the Mayor's seat is heating up, with a diverse group of candidates vying for the position.

Dr. Stephan Keller, the current incumbent mayor, is among those running for re-election under the CDU party. Eleven other individuals have also submitted their candidacy for the position, including Fabian Zachel under SPD, Clara Gerlach under ALLIANCE 90/THE GREENS, and Hermann Bruns and Alexander Marten who are running as independent candidates.

The field is further expanded with candidates from various political parties such as Julia Marmulla under THE LEFT, Ulf Montanus under FDP, Claus Henning Gahr under AfD, Berit Zalbertus under ANIMAL PROTECTION, and Michael Baumeister under FREE VOTERS. Additionally, Lukas Fix is running under Climate List Düsseldorf, and Dominique Mirus is a candidate under THE PARTY.

The Municipal Election Committee has reviewed all submitted candidate lists, and the AfD's candidate list, along with all other submitted lists, has been approved. However, objections to the approvals of the candidate lists can be filed until July 21. If objections are filed, the State Election Committee will decide on the matter on July 28.

The candidate lists for the City Council, district councils, and Integration Council will be publicly announced in due course. It is important to note that if no candidate receives more than 50% of the votes in the first round, a runoff election will take place on September 28.
