On September 26th, three applicants in the Offenbach district are again running for the district council election. CDU, SPD and Greens send candidates into the race.
Actually, the ballot papers from 2016 for this year’s district election in the Offenbach district would only have had to be pasted with a different date. The candidates are the same as six years ago: the incumbent District Administrator Oliver Quilling (CDU), the district councilor Carsten Müller (SPD) and his namesake Robert Müller (Greens).
The new district administrator in the Offenbach district will be elected on September 26th, and around 264,000 citizens are entitled to vote. Oliver Quilling has the official bonus: he won the district election for the first time in 2009, has been in office for two terms and is now making the third attempt. Whereby his governance is not an area: The 56-year-old Neu-Isenburg is always close to the citizen, is a man of calm and level-headed words, and represents the district beyond the region. This also reflects his previous election result: Despite the two opposing candidates, Quilling received 59.2 percent of all valid votes, so easily won an absolute majority.
His SPD opponent is someone with whom Quilling has been working side by side for years on the best of terms: Carsten Müller was elected district member for the first time in 2005. The 49-year-old is head of the social affairs department and has also been the district treasurer since 2010. The Heusenstammer is applying for the office of district administrator for the third time. In 2015 he received 27.6 percent of the valid votes
The challenger from the Greens, Robert Müller, comes from Mühlheim, has been a member of the Offenbach District Assembly since 2005 and is the spokesman for the Green District Assembly. The 54-year-old industrial engineer appeared for the first time as a district administrator six years ago and came up with 13.2 percent.
It will again be difficult for the two millers to oust the incumbent from the throne. Quilling enjoys recognition and trust across party lines.
In the district election six years ago, the turnout was just 28.7 percent. The federal election, which is taking place at the same time, is likely to attract more voters to the polls this time.
