The ruling coalition government of Germany, led by the SPD and Greens, is facing challenges in upcoming elections as they trail behind conservative and far-right parties. Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck are their candidates. The CDU/CSU block leads the polls but likely needs coalition partners, while the AfD has gained significant support. Conversely, the FDP faces potential exclusion from the Bundestag. The left-wing spectrum is complicated by the division between the Left Party and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, affecting the overall landscape of coalition possibilities in the February elections.
The two parties have remained pretty steady in the polls, behind their conservative and far-right opponents, however, they will be hoping for last-minute momentum.
The Conservative Democratic Union (CDU) alongside its sister party, the Conservative Social Union (CSU), is projected to win only around 30% of the vote.
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has seen its support surge from around 10% in 2021 to around 20% in recent polling.
The Free Democratic Party (FDP) has seen its support go from over 11% in 2021 to less than 5% in recent polls.
