Score One for Marc Weigel: He's Still the Mayor of Neustadt an der Weinstraße
Incumbent Marc Weigel continues in office as Mayor. - Incumbent Marc Weigel retains mayoral position
Hey there! The dude, Marc Weigel, has done it again. He's hanging onto that Mayor's gig in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, considering the provisional election results. This Free Voters Group (FWG) gentleman snagged a whopping 79.7% of the votes, according to the Palatinate community’s evening announcement. Marc's been in command since 2018 and, yep, he was born and bred in the very town he's leading.
Steffi Karbach, a digital strategies consultant hailing from Ludwigshafen, gave it a shot as an independent candidate. However, she only scored 20.3% of the votes—not too shabby, but not quite enough to unseat the Mayor. Steffi grew up in good ol' Neustadt-Hambach, just so you know.
As for the voter turnout, around 37% of eligible citizens cast their ballots. That's a pretty decent number, but we're hoping for a bit more civic participation next time around! Approximately 42,000 people were eligible to vote in total.
- Neustadt an der Weinstraße (yes, that's the place)
- Neustadt (dosse) (yawn... nobody important there)
- Election Results (the ones that matter)
- The Community policy in Neustadt an der Weinstraße now includes a focus on education and vocational training, possibly inspired by Marc Weigel's recent re-election win and his lifelong connection to the town.
- As the political landscape of Neustadt an der Weinstraße evolves with Marc Weigel's re-election and the low votes received by Steffi Karbach in the mayoral election, changes in policy-and-legislation, vocational training, and general-news are expected to be closely monitored within the town.
