**Katharina Pötter holds an overwhelming market lead as the CDU incumbent seeking re-election as Osnabrück’s Oberbürgermeisterin.** In the September 13 first round, she captured 42.2% of the vote—well ahead of Volker Bajus (Greens) at 22.3%—securing their September 27 runoff matchup after no candidate reached an absolute majority. Other contenders, including Robert Alferink (SPD) at 17.1%, finished far behind. Pötter’s improved showing compared with her 2021 first-round result, combined with her established record since taking office that year, underpins trader consensus on her strong position in the head-to-head contest. The short campaign window before the runoff leaves limited scope for major shifts absent unexpected developments.
