Sassenburg's Mayor Koslowski Won't Seek Re-election in 2026 Due to Health
The future of Sassenburg's mayoral seat is uncertain as Jochen Koslowski has announced he will not seek re-election in 2026 due to health reasons. His term is set to end in October that year, and no successor has been named yet.
Koslowski, who has served as mayor since 2016, made the announcement recently, citing personal health concerns. His decision comes as the town prepares for local elections in September 2026.
The mayor's term is currently six years, but the town council has decided to extend it to eight years in the future. This change, however, will not affect Koslowski's term, which will end as scheduled in October 2026.
With Koslowski's departure, the town will enter a new chapter. The search for his successor is underway, but no official announcements have been made. The extended term of eight years for future mayors is also a significant change for Sassenburg's political landscape.
