In Bavaria's local elections on March 8, 2026, incumbent Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD) received only 35.6 percent of the votes and must face a runoff on March 22. Greens candidate Dominik Krause followed with 29.5 percent, while Clemens Baumgärtner (CSU) got 21.3 percent. Reiter's poor showing is attributed to recent criticism over his FC Bayern role and an incident in the city council.
During a raid in Absberg in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district, a special forces unit attempted to arrest three men for illegal weapons possession. Two suspects fled and fired shots at police during the chase, leading to an accident and injuries. In total, five people were lightly injured, and three arrests were made.
