Lübeck's Tenured Mayor Emerges Victorious
Jan Lindenau, the incumbent mayor of Lübeck, celebrates another victory following the run-off election on Sunday. Outshining Melanie Puschaddel-Freitag of the CDU, Lindenau garnered a substantial 65.8% of the votes, while Puschaddel-Freitag managed to secure 34.2%. Voter turnout on this occasion was 26.2%, lower than the 37% recorded in the first round held on November 5.
With none of the candidates attaining the required majority in the initial round, the electorate of approximately 175,000 voters was compelled to head to the polls once again. In the previous round, Lindenau had received 42.5% of the votes, and Puschaddel-Freitag managed 23.6%.
Now that Jan Lindenau has clinched the run-off election, his tenure as mayor is set to continue, not only for Lübeck but also for the municipal level. Remaining steadfast in their alliance, the SPD and Free Voters coalition will retain control over municipal affairs in Lübeck.
