2020 local election in Ingolstadt: Mayor Lösel sees poll in runoff election
With less than 50 percent of the votes, he would have to be in the runoff *. In the last municipal election, Lösel was still able to win an absolute majority with 52.6 percent in the first ballot and had moved directly into the town hall as the new boss. The fact that, according to the new municipal election poll from Ingolstadt, he is far from this result in 2020 is due to some mistakes made by the incumbent mayor.
At the last city council meeting in 2019, the CSU (including Lösel) and free voters got together with the AfD . In terms of content, it was only about the application for a club home (which was rejected, since otherwise all clubs would have to be granted the right to a home in the center of the village, according to the AfD man), but the other groups fear normalization of cooperation with the Right-wing populists.

In the Forsa poll on local elections in Ingolstadt, he got 15 percent of the vote.
Although the post did not come from Lösel himself, but from CSU city councilor Hans Achhammer, the outrage was great.

The fact that the faux pas took place on the Holocaust Memorial Day gives the matter an additional bitter aftertaste.
