SPD Backs Sebastian Zinke for Heidekreis Landrat in 2026 Race
The SPD has thrown its weight behind Sebastian Zinke as their candidate for the Landratswahl in Heidekreis on September 13, 2026. The party's board, also known as the college board, has given him their full support, with Zinke being a state parliamentarian and co-chairman of the SPD.
The SPD's decision comes as they prepare for the succession of Jens Grote, who has announced he will not be seeking re-election as Landrat. The party's district board has officially nominated Zinke as their candidate.
Meanwhile, the political landscape is heating up. Both the SPD and CDU have put forward candidates for the Landratswahl, with the AfD also announcing their contender. However, no specific CDU candidate has been publicly named yet.
With the SPD's backing, Sebastian Zinke will now campaign to become the next Landrat of Heidekreis. The race is on, with candidates from the SPD, CDU, and AfD vying for the position in the September 2026 election, with election updates expected to follow.
