Leverkusen - In many cities there was no final result in the local elections in NRW.
In the first ballot, often none of the candidates achieve
an absolute majority
of over 50 percent of the votes.
In such a case there will be a runoff between the two candidates with the most votes.
Since the other candidates are eliminated, the cards are completely reshuffled here.
The last
election result
from
Leverkusen is
only available after the second ballot.
Result of the runoff election in Leverkusen: One of these two becomes mayor
If there was no runoff election,
Frank Schönberger would
probably no longer have a chance at the post of Lord Mayor.
In the first ballot on September 13, the CDU politician received
23.4 percent,
only roughly half of the votes of
incumbent Uwe Richrath (SPD)
, who came to 46.1 percent.
The result of the local elections in Leverkusen was initially quite clear.
The incumbent Mayor Uwe Richrath (SPD) clearly outperforms the challengers, but still has to make it to the runoff election;
his result is also well above that of his party.

Last attempt to turn the result of the OB election in Leverkusen
To increase his chances, Schönberger challenged the SPD competitor to a
speech duel
.
Richrath turned this down, however.
The reason: He did not see the "
equality of arms"
in a duel organized by the CDU. He also had concerns about the
corona virus
. "You know that I was always very attached to you personally. That is why it would never have occurred to me to create unfair conditions here, ”replies Schönberger in a
reply
that is quoted by RP-Online.
Now Schönberger has to
hope
for the
favor of the swap
voters.
So the voters who actually voted for one of the other applicants in the first ballot.
The runoff result from Leverkusen was already clear on the evening of the election
A
result of the runoff
is
expected
on the
evening of September 27th
.
The count will probably not take long as only the votes for two candidates are counted.
If the voters decide as clearly as in the first ballot, the interim results could already tell who is mayor of Leverkusen for the next few years.
