Dominik Krause

Dominik Krause, a member of the Green Party, is the newly elected mayor of Munich, Germany. He defeated incumbent SPD mayor Dieter Reiter in a recent runoff election. This victory marks the first time Munich will be led by a Green Party member. While Reiter was initially considered the favorite, even leading in the first round of voting on March 8th, Krause ultimately secured the win. Reiter has conceded the election, taking responsibility for the loss. Krause's victory is significant as it represents a shift in Munich's political landscape. He and his partner, Sebastian Müller, a doctor, are now planning their wedding amidst the demands of his new role as mayor.
