Election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: AfD in the northeast just ahead of SPD - CDU in the state parliament?
Exciting race on the Baltic coast and lake district: According to forecasts, the AfD is narrowly ahead of the SPD. The CDU has to tremble about remaining in parliament. Who can govern in the end?
The SPD, led by Minister-President Manuela Schwesig, is expected to remain in power after the state election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, despite not surpassing the AfD in the polls. The AfD, led by Leif-Erik Holm, has more than doubled its vote share to 37-38%, but may struggle to find a coalition partner. The CDU, led by Daniel Peters, has suffered another significant loss, with 5-5.5% of the vote, and may not be represented in the state parliament. The FDP has failed to clear the 5% threshold and will not be represented in the parliament.
