Noosha Aubel: Brave candidate for Potsdam's mayor's office!

Noosha Aubel, the former deputy in Potsdam, left the cat out of the bag: she runs as a non -partisan mayor for Potsdam. In this way, she will face the voters on September 21, 2025, after the elected Mayor Mike Schubert (SPD) had to vacate his office in May. Aubel describes Potsdam as her "old homeland" and sees the opportunity for candidacy as unique. Borkener Zeitung reports that Aubel worked in Potsdam from 2017 to 2023 and most recently as a subordinate for education, integration and security works in Flensburg.

With more than 20 years of experience in various local government, she brings a lot of know-how. When she imagined, she announced that she would develop Potsdam together with the citizens. Their goal is to fight for equal opportunities for education, affordable living and social participation. Tagesspiegel emphasizes that Aubel as a party candidate and the community for you a central element of democracy represent.

competition and political conversations

In the next few weeks it could be exciting: The SPD has discussions with Severin Fischer, the Berlin Wirtschafts Secretary, about a possible candidate. This topic is likely to employ many in Potsdam, because the decision about Fischer's candidacy is imminent. The AfD has already nominated Chaled-Uwe Said, the chairman of its city faction, for the election. Aubel will therefore have to assert himself against these two strong candidates. But it cannot be intimidated and looks towards her application with confidence.

The Greens also show interest in collaboration and plan discussions about possible support for Aubel. These could be important for the voters if they want to speak for a colorful policy. The application deadline for the candidacy is on July 17, 2025, and potential candidates without a seat in one of the parliamentary committees need at least 112 support signatures to secure their presence on the ballot pens. The municipality has set up clearly clear rules here that apply to all applicants.

The importance of choice

The new mayor election in Potsdam is expected by around 143,000 eligible voters. Those who do not reach the absolute majority of 50% in the first ballot must prove themselves again in a runoff election on October 12, 2025. Mayor Burkhard Exner heads the city's business during the transition period and ensures that the city does not get stalled. So it will be exciting which political alliances form and which topics the choice will dominate.

The candidacy of Noosha Aubel could usher in a new chapter for Potsdam, because she has the potential to put the first woman to the top of the town hall after Brunhilde Hanke was the last mayor in office. Exciting times are imminent, and the citizens are called to actively participate in the political discussion in the coming months and to give their vote.
