Local election in Wuppertal: is a CDU or SPD candidate ahead of the results?
Wuppertal -
Wuppertal
is best known for its
suspension railway
.
In the election campaign for the
2020 local elections,
the city's figurehead is again an issue.
But initially all
Wuppertal residents
only have one question: Who can become
mayor
and govern the city
with the results of the local elections
?
A
social democrat
or a
CDU man
?
The decision was already visibly difficult in 2015 -
a
runoff election
decided
the post of
Lord Mayor
.
Andreas Mucke (SPD)
won with a good 60 percent of the votes and has been the incumbent since then.
Mucke was
able to
oust
the then Lord Mayor
Peter Jung (CDU)
from the throne, but can he
defend him
now in
2020
?
The most important events on election Sunday can be found on
merkur.de
in our live ticker for the local elections in NRW.
Local election in Wuppertal: CDU supports Green candidate
Already in the middle of his current term of office, the native of Wuppertal
Mucke declared
that he would run
again
in the next election for
mayor
.
Uwe Schneidewind (The Greens) is
now
challenging the incumbent
SPD man
- as well as five other
candidates
.
The
CDU
is
not nominating a candidate
in
Wuppertal
in this year's
local elections
, but it does support
Schneidewind
.
This means that a
green-black alliance will
strengthen him in the election for mayor.
Schneidewind knows about his chances of a strong local election result in Wuppertal and, as he
shows
on
, leads the election campaign until the end:

Result of the local elections in Wuppertal determined by several ballot papers
The
2020 local elections will
take place in
NRW
on September
13th
.
Votes are also held in the other major cities - we will keep you up to date on this in the general overview of results for the NRW election.
On
this day, the people of
Wuppertal
have to
put their crosses
on several
ballot papers
: All citizens who are entitled to vote - this year
young people
aged 16
and over are also
allowed to vote in
NRW
for the first time
- not only elect the
mayor
, but also the
city council
and the ten
district
councils.
When filling out the three
ballot papers
in Wuppertal, caution is advised:
the voter may only put one cross on each sheet
- otherwise his vote is worthless.
In the local elections in 2020, right-wing extremist supporters of Erdogan also pushed into the city councils in several cities.
In the run-up to the
NRW election
, there was confusion about the mask requirement - also by Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU).
Local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia: When are the election results in Wuppertal?
All over
NRW
,
the polling stations will
close on September
13th
at 6 p.m.
The
election workers
then start counting the
votes
that were
cast
on site and by postal vote.
Only when all votes from all
electoral districts have been
recorded can the
election results be
announced.
Usually this is still
the case
on
election day
itself.
The electoral officers in North Rhine-Westphalia, however, ask in advance
to apologize for
delays in the announcement of the
results
- due to the
coronavirus pandemic
and the prescribed
safety and hygiene measures
, there could be obstacles in the usual process.
The results of the
local elections will
be available by Monday at the latest
firmly.
However, one of the three election results could have to
wait a little longer
in
Wuppertal
: If none of the
mayor candidates
achieve
at least 50 percent of the votes, the two electors with the most votes have to
go
to the
runoff
on
September 27th
.
After the
2015 local elections,
Jung
completely said
goodbye to
politics after he had suffered the defeat - does
Wuppertal's
incumbent
SPD Mayor Mucke
now
face
the same fate?
If you believe a current survey by the WDR,
2020
could well be tight
for him
.
The
WDR
polled
around 1000 eligible voters in
Wuppertal
by
telephone
.
Of course, the respondents' propensity to vote indicated in the survey does not necessarily indicate their actual voting behavior, but it does indicate a
trend
.
The
SPD
and
CDU
parliamentary groups
are currently
equally strong
in the
Wuppertal city council
, each with 19 seats, with the
Greens represented
with 11 seats.
Since the
CDU
supports
the
Green
candidate,
Schneidewind
, it could be a close match on election Sunday.
On
Mucke therefore is probably his constituents that he day and night in the
campaign
is:

Results of the local elections beyond Wuppertal
You will also find
the continuously updated election results
for other major cities on
merkur.de
from election evening.
Here is a selection of the cities:
Local election results from Cologne
Local election results from Düsseldorf
Local election results from Dortmund
Local election results from Essen
Local election results from Duisburg
Local election results from Bochum
Local election results from Bielefeld
Local election results from Bonn
Local election results from Münster
Local election in Wuppertal: Will the result for the OB election be close?
According to the WDR survey, the current incumbent of the
SPD
would
“only” achieve 42 percent of the vote in an election at this point in time.
That would put him just behind
Schneidewind
, the joint candidate of the
CDU
and the
Greens
, and his 44 percent share of the
vote
.
All other candidates would have a total of 14 percent,
Bernhard Sander
from the
Left
would achieve five percent.
So it will remain exciting in
Wuppertal
until the end
, because a head-to-head race between
Mucke
and
Schneidewind is still
emerging.
For many people in
Wuppertal,
traffic in the city
is
an important issue that the future
mayor will
have to continue to deal with
.
In addition, the well-known
Wuppertal
suspension railway is
a major campaign topic, because the city's landmark and “local transport backbone” is currently more or less still.
The interest group Schwebebahn-Museum Wuppertal has long been fighting for a
museum
for the high cable car.
