Conservatives Claim Victory in German General Elections

In the recent early general elections in Germany, CDU/CSU secured a win with 29% of the vote, while the far-right AfD emerged as the second strongest party with 19.5%. The voter turnout reached a record high of 84%.

Key Points:

  • CDU/CSU led by Friedrich Merz won with 29% of the vote.
  • AfD secured 19.5% becoming the second strongest party.
  • SPD faced a significant drop in votes, ending up with 16%.
  • Greens received 13.5%, Left Party 8.5%, and FDP 4.9%.

With no single party likely to achieve a majority, coalition talks are expected. Five candidates, including Scholz, Merz, Weidel, Habeck, and Wagenknecht, competed for the Chancellor position.

Alice Weidel's Statement

AfD candidate Alice Weidel expressed openness to coalition talks with CDU/CSU, despite finishing second. Weidel has been leading the AfD parliamentary group since 2017.

Olaf Scholz's Response

SPD's Olaf Scholz accepted defeat and congratulated Friedrich Merz on the victory. Scholz emphasized the need to move forward and denounced the rise of far-right parties like AfD.

Trump's Reaction

US President Donald Trump congratulated CDU/CSU on their win, considering it a great day for Germany and the US.
