On February 23rd, over 50 million Germans are set to participate in snap parliamentary elections following the collapse of the coalition government. Recent polls suggest that the center-right Christian Democrats (CDU) could gain the most votes, potentially positioning Friedrich Merz as the next chancellor. However, results could be unpredictable, as recent surveys indicate fluctuating support among various parties, including gains by the far-right AfD, while the Social Democrats and Greens remained stable in their standings. The election's outcome is highly anticipated amidst the dynamic political landscape in Germany.
The vote is happening months earlier than originally planned after the previous 'traffic light' coalition collapsed in November.
Polls released on Thursday evening showed the race may be more unpredictable than we thought.
Surveys have been telling us so far that the centre-right Christian Democrats (CDU) are likely to get the most votes, meaning Friedrich Merz could well become Germany's next chancellor.
We are measuring changes in many places...CDU/CSU scored 28 percent of the vote, two percentage points less than before.
