""Early projections show Germany's conservative bloc leading the election with 29%, ahead of the far-right AfD at 19.5%, following the collapse of the SPD-led coalition.""
""The potential CDU candidate Friedrich Merz could pursue a coalition with the SPD or the Greens, while AfD is expected to be excluded from government formation due to widespread political shunning.""
The German parliamentary elections on February 23, 2025, indicate the conservative CDU/CSU bloc has secured approximately 29% of the votes, making it the largest party. This follows the demise of a coalition government led by Chancellor Olaf Scholzâs SPD. The far-right AfD is trailing with about 19.5%, but is likely to be excluded from any coalition government due to its controversial stance. CDU candidate Friedrich Merz is viewed as a potential candidate for chancellor, with possible coalition talks involving SPD and Greens being anticipated post-election, which totalled an overall lower turnout for the Greens.
