In Hamburg, voters head to the polls to elect their regional government, with the Social Democrats (SPD) looking to bounce back after a disappointing national election. Currently governing in coalition with the Greens, the SPD hopes to retain control led by Mayor Peter Tschentscher. Despite placing third nationally, pre-election polls indicate the SPD may secure around 33% of votes, allowing them to maintain their coalition. The SPD's historical strength in Hamburg could play a crucial role in influencing the results amid a challenging political landscape.
The SPD currently governs the northern German city-state in a coalition with the Greens, aiming to recover from a defeat in recent national elections.
Outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed optimism ahead of the Hamburg election despite the SPD's poor showing in federal elections, highlighting Hamburg's support for the party.
