Pforzheim: Mayor Peter Boch continues to serve

Pforzheim, Germany - Peter Boch, the city's Lord Mayor (Oberbürgermeister), has been re-elected for another term, securing 88.4% of the votes in the recent election. The turnout was 23.5%, with approximately 88,000 Pforzheimer casting their votes.

Boch, a member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has been actively engaged in the city's administration and community matters. His hands-on approach is evident in his involvement in local economic affairs, as demonstrated by his visit to the Witzenmann branch plant in Pforzheim to discuss future plans [1][2].

Interestingly, Boch's only opponent in this election was Dimitrij Walter, who represented the Free Democratic Party (FDP). In a previous election, Walter had run for the top job but was unsuccessful [3]. Notably, the FDP had backed Boch in the election, but without the support of the city council [4].

In a surprising turn of events, none of the other parties and groups in the fragmented Pforzheim city council fielded their own candidate, not even the Alternative for Germany (AfD) [5].
