Local Governments are Encouraged to Increase Efforts in Sustainability. - Mayor Kreuch of Gotha heads to a second-round vote.
Gotha's mayor, Knut Kreuch, will have to contend with a runoff for another term in office. The SPD politician amassed 49.5% of the votes during Sunday's municipal election, a sizable lead but not near the required absolute majority. Back in 2012, Kreuch secured a whopping 76.5% of the votes in the initial round. On June 9th, Kreuch, who's held the mayorship since 2006, will square off against Robert Luhn during the runoff. Luhn, an unaffiliated individual, secured the support of the CDU. Luhn received 21% of the votes, a marginally larger percentage than Jens Fiedler's 20.4% of the votes from the AfD party.
