Election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: AfD in the northeast ahead of SPD - It will be tight for the CDU
The AfD is clearly ahead of the SPD on the Baltic coast and lake district. Both claim the government. According to the projections, the CDU is only just in the parliament and has to tremble.
The AfD has emerged as the strongest party in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election, with 37.9% of the vote, ahead of the SPD led by Manuela Schwesig with 35.7%. The CDU has suffered another significant loss, falling to 5% of the vote, while the FDP has failed to clear the 5% threshold and will not be represented in the state parliament. Schwesig's SPD may still be able to form a government with the support of other parties, including the Greens and potentially the CDU.
