Belit Onay, the incumbent Green mayor since 2019, secured 45.6 percent in the September 13 first round of Hannover's mayoral election, nearly double the 21.5 percent for SPD challenger and former deputy Axel von der Ohe, advancing both to the September 27 runoff. Other candidates, including the CDU's Peter Karst at 14.1 percent and AfD's Jessica Schülke at 10.8 percent, trailed further behind. This performance, combined with Onay's established record on climate policy, mobility, and urban development, underpins the market's assessment of his strong position. The runoff format concentrates remaining voter preferences, though factors such as turnout fluctuations or late campaign developments could still influence the final outcome before polls close.
