Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: AfD liegt laut Hochrechnungen vor der SPD
Bei den Landtagswahlen liegen die SPD und die AfD nah beieinander. Die CDU liegt knapp über den fünf Prozent. Auch Grüne und Linke müssen um den Einzug in den Landtag zittern.
Schwerin – According to initial calculations by ARD and ZDF, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) appears to be narrowly ahead of the Social Democrats (SPD) in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election. For the first time in the party's history, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) faces uncertainty about whether it will secure the 5% threshold necessary to maintain its presence in the Landtag.
The AfD, led by Minister-President candidate Leif-Erik Holm and the top candidate Enrico Schult, is projected to secure between 37.1% and 37.8% of the vote. This marks a more than doubling of their previous performance in 2021, when they received 16.7% of the vote. The SPD, after a late push, finds themselves in second place with 35.6% to 36.3% of the vote (down from their 2021 result of 39.6%).
The CDU, as projected, is set to have its weakest state election result since the formation of the Federal Republic, with between 5.1% and 5.4% of the vote (a significant drop from their 2021 13.3%). The Left party is expected to garner 6.2% to 7.4% (down from their 2021 performance of 9.9%). The Greens have the potential to cross the 5% threshold required for representation in the Landtag, with a projected 5.5% of the vote (up from 6.3% in 2021).
