After the state election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern heading for red-red-green - CDU state leadership resigns
After the election, it's time for coalition negotiations in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The first course has been set. Meanwhile, there are personnel consequences for the CDU, the loser of the election.
The CDU leadership in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has resigned after a disastrous state election, in which the party narrowly failed to enter the state parliament with 4.9% of the vote. The AfD emerged as the strongest party with 38.2% of the vote, followed by the SPD with 35.5%, while the Left and Greens also entered the parliament.
The CDU's state leader, Daniel Peters, and general secretary, Katy Hoffmeister, have stepped down, with Philipp Amthor to take over as interim leader, and the SPD is set to begin negotiations with the Left and Greens to form a coalition government.
