Lindenberg’s SPD reshapes council with diverse election candidate list

Lindenberg's SPD party branch has announced its candidate list for the upcoming elections. The list includes nine women and eleven men, aged 19 to 72, and was approved unanimously. Notably, two current council members, Roland Eppig and Werner Sum, will not be on the 20-strong list, leading to a change in the council group's composition from May 2026.

The SPD branch has chosen a diverse group of candidates for the election. The youngest candidate is 19, while the oldest is 72, reflecting a mix of experience and fresh perspectives. The list's composition will bring about a shift in the council group, as two incumbent members, Roland Eppig and Werner Sum, have decided not to run again. Their departure will mark the end of their term in the Wahlperiode starting in May 2026. The local party branch approved the candidate list without any dissent, demonstrating unity and support for the chosen candidates.

Lindenberg's SPD council group will undergo a change in composition following the upcoming elections. With a new candidate list approved unanimously, the party looks ahead to May 2026, when the new council group will take office, bringing with it a blend of experience and new ideas.
