Germany’s Christian Democratic Union fell below the 5% threshold for the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state parliament after the 20 September election, with 4.9% of the vote. The Alternative for Germany led with 38%, ahead of the Social Democrats on 35.5%. 🗳️
The result was the CDU’s first exclusion from a regional parliament since the Federal Republic was founded, according to Le Monde. The party is led federally by Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
📰 The vote was held alongside Berlin’s state election, where The Left came first. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, reporting said other parties were not expected to form a coalition with the AfD, leaving coalition talks crucial to forming a government.
Merz said he would remain chancellor and continue his reform programme. The state result followed another CDU setback in Saxony-Anhalt earlier in September, increasing pressure on his leadership. 🇩🇪
