In the recent elections, the centre-right CDU/CSU alliance secured 28-29% of the vote, clearly positioning itself as the strongest force. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) saw significant growth, capturing about 20% of the vote, effectively doubling its previous results. The centre-left Social Democrats (SPD), led by outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz, lagged behind at around 16%. The final results are expected in subsequent days, but CDU leader Friedrich Merz has declared victory, while the SPD acknowledged a disappointing outcome.
We have won the election.
We have achieved a historic result.
It was a bitter election result.
