The parliamentary elections in the Federal Republic of Germany were won by a small margin by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). She won 25.7 percent of the vote, according to the official preliminary results, released on Monday night, September 27, on the website of the chairman of the federal election commission. The SPD’s closest rival, the Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU / CSU) bloc, won the support of 24.1 percent of voters. Soyuz 90 / Greens received 14.8 percent of the vote, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) 11.5 percent, and the populist Alternative for Germany 10.3 percent.
The left-wing party was supported by 4.9 percent of voters, thus it did not overcome the five percent threshold. However, this political force will be able to form a faction in parliament, since three of its representatives received direct mandates in Berlin and Leipig.
At the end of the vote, both main contenders for the post of German chancellor – Olaf Scholz and Armin Laschet – announced their readiness to form a new German government. Thus, SPD candidate for chancellor Scholz believes that following the elections to the Bundestag, his party received a mandate from voters to form a government. In turn, Laschet said that he would do “everything possible to form a federal government headed” by the CDU / CSU.
Soyuz 90 / Greens’ candidate for chancellor, Annalena Berbock, acknowledged the mistakes that prevented the party from becoming the leading political force in Germany in the last elections. At the same time, Berbock believes that the Greens have received a mandate from voters to renew the country.
According to the chairman of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) Christian Lindner (Christian Lindner), German voters want a centrist government.
The final turnout in the elections in Germany was 76 percent, according to the forecasts of the Infratest dimap poll. In the previous parliamentary elections in 2017, the turnout was 76.2 percent.
The inhabitants of Germany have elected the deputies of the 20th Bundestag. In a few weeks, legislators will have to elect a new German chancellor, who will then form a government. In total, a record number of candidates – 6,211, including 2,024 women – competed for seats in the supreme legislative body.
