Redeen to Müller's election - the new district administrator is ready!
Mecklenburgische Seenplatte, Deutschland - The political landscape in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has again provided discussion material in recent weeks. In particular, the district election in the Mecklenburg Lake District district continues to provide discussions. Thomas Müller (CDU) prevailed in the elections in May 2025 and will take up his office in October 2025. But the euphoria about his victory was subdued by several appeals against his election. However, these objections were rejected by the district council as inadmissible, which made the representatives of his party relieved.
The criticism of AfD MP Andreas Rösler, who initially lodged an objection to Müller's election, was particularly striking. Rösler criticized that Müller had used his former office as a Vice-District Administrator for Voting Volation. His campaign posters, which showed him in fire uniform and in front of fire engines, were considered problematic. But ultimately, Rösler pulled his opposition back, which made Thomas Müller another reason to be happy, because this means nothing in the way of taking office in October 2025.
