Squal election in MV: Will the AfD become a district administrator in Meck-Pomm for the first time?

Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - On May 25, 2025, there are decisive sting elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which will decide on the future leadership in three counties and the city of Neubrandenburg. The voters have been called up since 8 a.m. to give up their vote. In a political environment that is shaped by the high presence of the AfD, this electoral system could lead to significant changes.

In the district of Mecklenburg Seenplatte, AfD candidate Enrico Schult, who received 36.1 percent of the vote in the first ballot, is against CDU politician Thomas Müller, who obtained 27 percent of the vote. Müller, currently Vizelandrat, strives to take over the management of the district. He is supported by Torsten Koplin (left) and Björn Eckardt (individual applicants), who asked their voters to give their voice for him.

In the district of Vorpommern-Rügen, the non-partisan candidate Stefan Kerth, who received 49.2 percent of the vote in the first ballot, and Carlos Dias Rodrigues from the AfD, who achieved 27.5 percent. Kerth enjoys support from the CDU and several groups of voters, which increases his chances of winning. Among other things, the SPD and the left have announced their support for Kerth.

Also in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald there is an interesting runoff election: incumbent Michael Sack from the CDU, who received 39.4 percent of the vote, competes against Inken Arndt from the AfD, which only received 38 percent of the vote. The SPD candidate Erik von Malottki has explained his support for Sack, which improves his chances of success.

Neubrandenburg mayor election

The turnout in the first ballot fluctuated between 44.8 and 50.6 percent, and in all counties, inferior candidates of the first round called their voters to support the stronger candidates.

The elections are well persecuted by the citizens in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. All Germans and Union citizens from a minimum age of 16 are entitled to vote, which must meet certain residence requirements. All voters must live in the electoral area for at least 37 days or have their habitual stay there in order to be able to take part in the election. In view of these requirements, the question arises as to how many citizens will actually use their right to vote.
