Claudia Kalisch remains mayor of Lüneburg

The Green Party politician Claudia Kalisch remains mayor of Lüneburg. In the runoff election, she narrowly won with 52.9 percent against Heiko Meyer from the electoral group Die Independents, who received 47.1 percent of the vote, as can be seen from the preliminary results on the city's election website.

Unlike her first election in 2021, Kalisch ran as an individual candidate this time. According to her own statements, she wanted to make it clear that she had always conducted her office in a non-partisan and non-ideological manner. But she “will continue to be a member of the Greens with heart and soul,” she said.

In the first round, Kalisch was already ahead of Meyer (28.2) with 36.1 percent.
