Neustadt in Saxony chooses new mayor: Mews is fighting for the office!

Neustadt in Sachsen, Deutschland - On May 18, 2025, the mayor's new election will take place in Neustadt in Saxony. This was necessary because the reigning mayor Peter Mühle (independent) will retire earlier than planned due to a deterioration in his health. Mühle originally reported his discharge from the civil servant relationship on November 22, 2024 and officially retired on July 31, 2025. The 65-year-old celebrated his birthday last year and justifies his decision with health problems that had strengthened in the course of 2024, such as

Since this first attempt, he has not participated in mayoral elections. A possible third candidate has not yet been determined, which makes the race for the mayor's office exciting, as the city's press office announced. In the choice, citizens will be able to give their voice secret and in the immediate vote, as the election provisions in Saxony

The choice is based on the absolute majority choice. This means that a candidate needs more than half of the valid votes to be elected.

The coming weeks will show who ultimately can combine the voters behind them and which topics the citizens of Neustadt in Saxony are particularly concerned, now that a change of management is imminent.
