In Bavaria, around 5,500 candidates are set to run for the AfD in various municipal councils, but in Moosburg, two candidates have taken an unusual stance asking the public not to vote for them. This appeal comes as a surprise, even for the Moosburg branch of the AfD, known for its recent peculiar incidents. These include the controversial candidacy of former right-wing extremist Stefan Jahnel for mayor, which was eventually rescinded by the party, and the subsequent nomination of local physician Moutasem Daoud Ghadieh, who is largely unknown and did not attend his own nomination event.

The situation highlights a deeper sense of confusion and perhaps disillusionment within the party as these two candidates, an elderly couple, find themselves on a list of potential city council members but express their disinterest in being elected. Their request not to be voted for raises questions about the integrity and the motivations behind candidacies in a party that has faced scrutiny for its ideologies and candidate choices.

This unusual plea not to be voted for adds a layer of complexity to the upcoming elections, showcasing potential internal conflicts within the AfD and reflecting broader societal debates about the party's role and the public's perception of its candidates. As elections approach, the implications of such controversial requests may influence voter sentiment and the overall dynamics of the electoral landscape in Moosburg and beyond.
