Albayrak for mayor, say Rotterdamers
Rotterdamers want junior justice minister Nebahat Albayrak to replace Ivo Opstelten as mayor, according to a poll carried out among 12,500 people by the AD.
The 40-year-old Albayrak, who is a Labour party minister, took 24.4% of the vote.
Second was the current mayor of Maastricht Gerd Leers (Christian Democrat) with 22.5%.
The AD decided to hold a poll after the city council voted against holding a referendum on the issue.
