Around 2.4 million voters were called upon to elect a new state parliament. Compared to the 2021 chaos election, there were apparently only minor problems. It is not yet clear who will come second.
CDU top candidate Kai Wegner led his party to victory – but it is uncertain whether he will be able to govern.
The CDU’s top candidate, Kai Wegner, has achieved something that Berlin’s conservatives have never managed to do in this millennium: his party won the most votes in the repeat election. According to the extrapolation by Infratest Dimap, 27.9 percent of the votes went to the CDU. So far, the Greens and the SPD have followed on equal footing with 18.6 percent each. Left and AfD received 12.2 and 9.1 percent of the vote. The FDP brings up the rear, which is currently likely to miss the entry into the state parliament with 4.6 percent.
