From euractiv.com|Feb 12, 2025|1 commentIt's an election that few saw coming and even fewer wanted, yet Germany's 23 February ballot promises to be the most significant the country has seen in decades. It's almost certain to close the book on the Merkel-era (you read that right). While Olaf Scholz, a Social Democrat, is the current chancellor, his truncated term has effectively been a continuation of Merkel's tenure. Under Merkel-foe Friedrich Merz, leader of the Christian Democrats and likely next chancellor, that is certain to change. Why you should care? As the EU’s ...

From @Reuters|Sep 26, 2021post at 10:38pm: Germany's Social Democrats narrowly won Sunday's national election, projected results showed, and claimed a ‘clear mandate’ to lead a government for the first time since 2005 and to end 16 years of conservative-led rule under Angela Merkel https://t.co/8ieZcrdQ7o https://t.co/sw6Rwp0Ep2 post at 10:47pm: (DE) Germany Election Final Results: Social Democrats (SPD) Scholz 25.7%; CDU/CSU Laschet 24.1%; Greens Baerbock 14.8% - Federal Returning Officer (More at https://t.co/l5IrswklnL)
From bnnbloomberg.ca|Sep 26, 2021|1 commentWith German elections failing to produce a clear winner, the two major parties -- Finance Minister Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats and the conservative CDU/CSU bloc under Armin Laschet -- are both plotting their next moves to secure the chancellery. The splintered political landscape means that they’ll need the Greens and the pro-business Free Democrats to form a majority. And that’s where it gets complicated. The Greens have traditionally been more comfortable with Scholz’s SDP. While FDP leader Christian Lindner is on the record as ...
From dailymail.co.uk|Sep 26, 2021Germany's centre-left Social Democrats took a razor-thin lead on Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives in the vote to decide her successor, preliminary results showed, sparking immediate claims from both sides to form the country's next government. The election ushers in the end of 16 years in power for Mrs Merkel, and also thrusts Germany, a byword for stability, into a new period of political uncertainty. With the conservative CDU-CSU alliance and the Social Democrats (SPD) each seeking to form governing coalitions in a race for ...

Germany's center-left Social Democrats were locked in a very close race Sunday with outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel’s bloc in the country's parliamentary election, a vote that will determine who succeeds the long-time leader after 16 years in power, exit polls showed. Officials from both parties said they hope to lead the next government. An exit poll for ARD public television put voters' support at 25 percent each for the Social Democrats — for whom outgoing Vice-Chancellor Olaf Scholz is running for chancellor — and Merkel’s ...
From apnews.com|Sep 26, 2021German voters are choosing a new parliament in an election that will determine who succeeds Chancellor Angela Merkel after her 16 years at the helm of Europe’s biggest economy. Polls point to a very close race Sunday between Merkel’s center-right Union bloc, with state governor Armin Laschet running for chancellor, and the center-left Social Democrats, for whom outgoing finance minister and Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz is seeking the top job. Recent surveys show the Social Democrats marginally ahead. The environmentalist Greens, with ...
From edition.cnn.com|Sep 25, 2021The race to succeed Angela Merkel as German chancellor remains wide open ahead of a national election on Sunday, according to the latest polls. Poll predictions on Saturday point to the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) holding a small but narrowing lead over Merkel's party, the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU). Merkel has been a symbol of stability in Europe since she took on the role of chancellor in 2005. But after almost 16 years in the top job, she will step down once it becomes clear who her successor will be. The ...
