The election of the Vice Mayor in Unterföhring was extremely tight. Now came home: it was also invalid. That is behind it.

Unterföhring - The Unterföhring municipal council again elects a vice mayor on June 18. The May 14 election is illegal due to a counting error and must be repeated. The mayor Andreas Kemmelmeyer (PWU) announced on Thursday at the beginning of the municipal council meeting. "I am foolishly sorry," apologized Kemmelmeyer as chairman of the election committee, "I was fooledly annoyed, such a mistake must not happen. I deeply regret him. "

In the first ballot, Manuel Prieler (PWU) and Philipp Schwarz (SPD) had a tie of 12:12. After the second ballot, an incorrect result was proclaimed in favor of Prieler at 13:11, which was consequently sworn in as the second mayor. Later in the regulatory office it was noticed when counting that a vote for black had landed in the pile of ballots for Prieler, said Kemmelmeyer. The correct result was again 12:12. The draw should have followed the stalemate. Kemmelmeyer informed the legal supervision that objected to the election. "I'm glad that the mistake didn't come to light in two to three days or by accident," said Prieler. He was certain that "something like this will no longer occur in the history of Unterföhring".
