Belit Onay, the incumbent Green Party mayor of Hannover, holds the leading position in trader consensus ahead of the September 13, 2026, direct election, supported by a late-August Forsa poll showing him at 40 percent against roughly 20-21 percent each for SPD challenger and deputy Axel von der Ohe and CDU candidate Peter Karst. Onay's established record on climate targets, mobility infrastructure, inner-city redevelopment, and public safety measures underpins this edge in a nine-candidate field where an outright first-round majority remains unlikely and a September 27 runoff could occur. Recent candidate forums have highlighted differences on traffic policy and housing, while the fragmented opposition and Onay's name recognition have limited momentum for alternatives in the final campaign week.
