A forgotten publication in the official gazette stops the new mayor from taking office. He now has to wait around three weeks longer to take up his new office.

The newly elected mayor of the municipality of Hermsdorf in the Ore Mountains has been delayed due to a mishap. The municipality had failed to publish the election results of the mayoral election in the official gazette, according to the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains. However, this is one of the requirements for a valid municipal election. The announcement is to be made at the beginning of January. If there are no objections, Mayor Karsten Friedrich could take up his new office with a delay of around three weeks.
