Who's the Mayor of Templin Now? A Clash Between AfD and SPD

Which political party wins the mayoral election in Templin: AfD or SPD? - Which political party is preferred, AfD or SPD?

Get ready for a heated showdown in Templin, Uckermark! The mayoral race is down to two contenders from the AfD and SPD, with the AfD's Christian Bork leading the pack after the first round with 31.4% of the votes. The SPD's Christian Hartphiel trails closely behind with 27.4%.

With a population of around 16,000, Templin, the hometown of former Chancellor Angela Merkel, is ready for a shakeup. The previous mayor, Detlef Tabbert, stepped down to take on a new role as Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Planning, necessitating an early election.

If the AfD candidate takes the win, it would make Templin the second city in Brandenburg with an AfD mayor. In Jüterbog (Teltow-Fläming district), the previous AfD mayor, Arne Raue, is now in the Bundestag. A new mayor will be elected there on June 29.
