State elections: CDU drops out of state parliament in the northeast – Left wins in Berlin
Bitter evening for the CDU: In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, it has been voted out of a state parliament for the first time - and in Berlin, it has to accept defeat from the Left. The Chancellor's party is stumbling.
The CDU has suffered significant losses in state elections in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Berlin. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the AfD has won 38.2% of the vote, more than doubling its previous result, while the CDU has failed to enter the state parliament with 4.9% of the vote. In Berlin, the Linke has won 25.7% of the vote, ahead of the CDU with 18.8%, and the current CDU/SPD coalition has lost its majority.
The SPD and Linke are likely to form a coalition with the Greens in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, while in Berlin, a coalition of Linke, Greens, and SPD is likely to take power.
