Who will become the new mayor of Ghent?

Number 6 and his liberal and socialist list won with 19 out of 53 seats.
5's green party is the second largest with 14 seats, 5 himself has less votes than the number 2 of his list.

My guess is 6 will form a coalition with number 4 and her Flemish nationalists to balance out the fact that his liberals have only 8 seats against the socialist 11. Might be 2 and her christian party can join the coalition with her 4 seats.

If Languish still lives in six years I'll attempt a new poll.

I can confirm I would not have voted for number 6 had I known what he looked like.
