Fight for the district office: Lackner and Danzer in the duel around the voters!

Traunstein, Deutschland - The district election in the Traunstein district is in full swing. Since the first election on June 29, 2025, it has been clear that in two weeks there will be a decisive runoff election between Martin Lackner from the CSU and Andreas Danzer from the free voters. None of the nine candidates could reach the necessary absolute majority, and with 32.9 percent of the vote, Lackner turned out to be a favorite, followed by Danzer with 20.1 percent.

The result shows an exciting head-to-head race, especially for third place. Christian Kegel from the SPD secured 14.4 percent, while the two non -party candidates, Hans Wembacher (9.7 percent) and Sebastian Gruttauer from the AfD (9.0 percent) are close together. Sepp Hohlweger from the Greens also received remarkable 7.7 percent, while the other applicants, including Heinz Wallner from the Bayern Party and Johann Martz von Die Linke, ended up in the last places, with 2.6 percent or 2 percent.

Occupation and meaning of the choice

The turnout was comparatively high at 42.4 percent among the 144,500 eligible voters, which indicates the interest of the population of this important decision. The election was necessary because the district administrator Siegfried Walch (CSU), which has been in office since 2014, was elected to parliament, which meant that his mandate and the office of the district administrator were mutually exclusive.

Josef Konhäuser (SPD) has been running the shops in the district office since March until a new district administrator officially took office on July 16, 2025. The new term will continue until 2032 to adapt to the six-year gymnast of the local elections in Bavaria.

The next two weeks

In the next two weeks, the election campaign for Lackner and Danzer will be intensive. Lackner plans to properly boost his election campaign on the last few meters again, while Danzer sees the opportunity to win voters from other candidates. It becomes particularly exciting to observe the tactics of the two candidates, because the voters have the choice between two very different approaches.

Regardless of the outcome of the election, it is clear that the decision about the future of the Traunstein district lies in the hands of the citizens. Every voter should be aware of the scope of his voice, because the next term of office will last until 2032. The municipal elections in Bavaria are a central part of democracy, and everyone is invited to help shape the future of their community.

The last information should further increase the tension until the runoff election on July 13, 2025. Martin Lackner and Andreas Danzer face a challenge that could shape their political careers.
