The SPD, led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, narrowly secured a win in Brandenburg, a relief after a recent historic defeat, but must share power moving forward.
The far-right AfD, while coming second in Brandenburg, has notably gained ground, previously achieving its historic election victory in Thuringia, reminiscent of Germany's darkest past.
SPD's slim margin at 30.9% reflects ongoing political volatility, necessitating a coalition with the newly formed Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, indicating a shift in dynamics.
The growing popularity of AfD has alarmed rivals, as evidenced by Prime Minister Woidke's threats to resign if they emerged victorious in Brandenburg, highlighting the stakes.
