The Social Democrats (SPD) finalized a coalition agreement with the centre-right CDU and CSU, receiving 84.6% support from its members. This vote, held online over two weeks, was crucial for the formation of the new government which will see CDU leader Friedrich Merz sworn in as Chancellor. Despite some criticisms from within the SPD, particularly from its youth wing, the pact was largely endorsed. Notably, SPD leader Lars Klingbeil is expected to head the Finance Ministry, with the announcement of cabinet appointments planned ahead of their official taking of office.
