State Parliament Election: Change of Government in Berlin - Left Wins Clearly Ahead of the CDU
Will Berlin in the future be Red-Green-Red? In terms of numbers, that would be enough. But another coalition of three would also be possible.
The Left party has won a record 25.7% of the vote in the Berlin state election, making it the strongest party. Elif Eralp, the party's leader, could become the city's first female mayor and the first with Turkish roots. The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) came second with 18.8%, while the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party took third place with 16.3%. The Greens and Social Democratic Party (SPD) could potentially form a coalition with the Left, but the SPD has expressed skepticism.
