Berlin’s Gay Mayor Wins Re-election
I would hardly call it a sweep, and find it strange how a mayor could retain office with all the financial trouble Berlin is in, but there it is…
Berlin’s openly gay mayor had little difficult retaining office Sunday. Klaus Wowereit and the Social Democrats won 31.4 percent of the vote, ensuring the party will remain in control.
The win is credited directly to Wowereit. Under the Social Democrats both unemployment and the city’s debt have skyrocketed. The jobless rate in Berlin is move 17 percent and the city owes nearly $70 billion.
Nevertheless, Wowereit’s personal popularity has remained high.

Mr Apirak Kosayothin was elected Bangkok Mayor in August 2004. (NB, in Thailand the surname comes first so his surname is Apirak and his family name is Kosayothin.)
