Voting season 2025: Election board reaches a consensus on matters related to local elections
In the upcoming Aachen municipal election, voters will be choosing their district councils and representatives across 33 electoral districts. However, the approved candidate list for the mayoral election has seen a significant development.
The Free Democratic Party (FDP) candidate, Wulf Papst, has had his nomination rejected due to flaws discovered during the preliminary review of the nominating convention on June 3, 2025. The FDP's reserve list, consisting of 40 candidates, has also been rejected for the same reasons.
Despite this, the reserve lists of all other parties have been found to comply with the provisions of the Municipal Election Act and the Municipal Election Ordinance.
At present, the approved candidates for the mayoral election in Aachen are not explicitly listed on the city's council information system. For accurate and comprehensive information about the current approved mayoral candidates, it is recommended to consult the official Aachen city website, the local election authority’s website, or trusted local news providers reporting on Aachen municipal elections.
