Oberhausen - incumbent
Daniel Schranz
got
a strong result
in the
mayor
election in Oberhausen
.
The
CDU
politician received around 45.5 percent of the vote, almost 16 percentage points more than his next challenger Thorsten Berg (29.7 percent).
Nevertheless, Schranz is not yet allowed to cheer.
Because he
missed
an absolute majority
(more than 50 percent), the 45-year-old has to go to the
runoff
election against
SPD
man Berg.
OB election in Oberhausen: Result of the runoff election must decide
For the Social Democrats, things went anything but smooth in the local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia.
And in Oberhausen, too, the comrades have
lost
a lot of
ground
.
In the last election in 2015, they became the
strongest force in the city council
.
This time the SPD in the city council was overtaken by the CDU by one percentage point.
In Oberhausen, Thorsten Berg makes it into the runoff election against the CDU incumbent.

CDU candidate Schranz cleared the post of mayor
in the first ballot
.
In this respect, the SPD has made progress.
Schranz 'loss of vote in the result of the 2020 local elections is less attributable to the SPD than to
the other parties
in the race for the
OB post
.
Runoff election in Oberhausen: Greens do not want to influence the local election result any further
In fact, with
37.7 percent of
the vote
, the SPD had
a better result than this year.
In the runoff election, the Social Democrats must therefore hope for those voters who ticked another party in the first ballot.
The
Greens
have already announced in this context,
no choice recommendation
speak.
An election recommendation can be of
great help
to a candidate.
Without this support it may be even more difficult for Berg to catch up with Schranz in the runoff election.
When can the runoff result from Oberhausen be expected?
Because no wafer-thin result is to be expected,
the result of the runoff election in Oberhausen can be expected
on the evening of September 27th
.
Complications with the counting can occur in individual cases, but the interim results on the evening of the polls should give a solid picture even if it takes longer in individual polling stations.
