Düsseldorf, Germany - Incumbent Mayor Stephan Keller is leading the runoff election for the city's top post, with around eight percent of the vote, according to recent polls. However, a closer look at the campaign reveals that the transport policy proposals of Keller and his competitor, Thomas Geisel, remain unclear.
Despite Keller's focus on safety and cleanliness in Düsseldorf, and his plans to implement a cycling main network of 300 km in the city over the next five years, specific details about his transport policy are scarce. The proposed transport policy approaches or significant differences between Keller and Geisel have not been clearly outlined in the campaign.
Keller's transport policy seems to revolve around the idea of linking the municipal public order service, creating space for cycling by making balancing decisions and sometimes redistributing public road space. However, the extent of these proposals and how they would be implemented remain unclear.
The campaign for Mayor Keller has shifted more into the digital realm due to the Corona pandemic. Digital channels have been a good instrument for exchange and interaction during the restricted campaign, but they have also been marred by hate comments and conspiracy theories.
The mood for Keller's campaign improved week by week during the campaign, with well-received live chats on Facebook attracting up to 160 participants. Keller is confident that he can put a stable council alliance on its feet, should he not win on September 27.
If Keller does not win, he has indicated that he is open to forming a black-red constellation, as he also speaks to the FDP. On the other hand, a black-green majority in the council is Keller's aim if he wins on September 27.
It is worth noting that Düsseldorf still ranks among the top 10 most livable cities worldwide, despite six years without the CDU in the city government. The city will have to cope with the social consequences of the pandemic, such as the inability to educate students satisfactorily digitally and the problems in the old town in the evenings and at night.
The question of whether Keller's personal preferences, such as his preference for Kölsch over Alt or his political history, are relevant to the voters has been raised. However, the focus of the campaign has remained largely on policy issues, with transport policy being one of the least discussed topics.
In conclusion, while Stephan Keller is leading the runoff election for Mayor of Düsseldorf, the transport policy proposals and their differences between Keller and his competitor remain unclear based on the current search data. More specific or updated sources would be necessary to answer this query fully.
