In addition to Rowald, Kampmann and Scheuer, there may also be other candidates under discussion who could compete with the CDU. This could make the election campaign in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler exciting. It remains to be seen how voters will evaluate the various programs and personalities. With Rowald, the CDU has sent a candidate into the race who could bring a broad base of support through his involvement in local politics and the trade unions.
The upcoming elections are important for the entire region, as mayoral elections will also take place in other cities in the country during the same period, such as in Remagen, Ingelheim am Rhein and Sprendlingen-Gensingen. These elections offer citizens the opportunity to cast their vote and have a say in the political direction of their communities, as explained on the website wahlen.rlp.de.
