Six candidates – six cases
At first, four death candidates’ deaths were reported. Later, it became clear that two other candidates who appeared in the sub -lists (reserve lists) were also died. This is Brenna Horford, who suffered from health problems and died of kidney failure, and in Petrick Titza who put an end to his life.
The other cases include Ralph Langa, Wolfgang Klinger, Wolfgang Zeitz and Staff Brandes – all died of natural death, some of whom suffered from previous medical problems. Police reportedly found no sign of a foreign party involvement in any of the time, and the Interior Ministry of the Nordarine -ter-Stapalia confirmed that candidates from other parties have passed away after their lists of elections were submitted.
“A prominent and difficult to explain”
Deputy Chairman of the State Party, Kai Gutshakk, expressed support for the case, but made it clear that there are no findings that indicate something unusual. I have never heard of a phenomenon where so many candidates died in such a short time before the elections. ”
The Party head in Germany Alice Weidel also shared a post on the network X In which he described the sequence of cases as “almost statistically impossible”, which only added to the passionate public discourse and rumors and speculation about external involvement.
Confusion and recurring elections
The death sequence has resulted in considerable technical problems in the local election campaign. In places where candidates have passed away, the voting notes must be reprinted, and thousands of premature voting votes have become unreasonable. Now the authorities must re -send voting envelopes to voters – a process that requires time, money and coordination not simple.
Police and the local prosecution bureaus declare that there is no evidence of criminals in any of the time. In some cases, like Staff Brandes, there was no investigation at all due to the fact that it was a clear natural death. Even in cases where an investigation was opened, as in Wolfgang Zeitz, it is a routine procedure when death is not initially explained, but here too, no evidence of the involvement of an external factor was found here.
Heavy shadow on the election existence
Despite the medical explanations and the sweeping negative of criminal involvement, the unusual timing of deaths is on the election campaign, especially for AfD Which is in the momentum in the polls. The combination of frequent deaths, logistical faults and a general discomfort – makes the upcoming choices are expected to exist in a tense atmosphere than usual.
