According to POLITICO’s poll of polls updated right up to the election on Sunday, the SPD was on course to win 16 percent of the votes — delivering the worst election result for the party in Germany’s post-war history.
The opinion polls showed conservative leader Friedrich Merz of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) as frontrunner with 30 percent, meaning he will likely become next chancellor. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) was on 20 percent going into voting day and the Greens on 13 percent.
The performance of the smaller parties ― the Free Democratic Party (FDP), the Left party and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance ― will determine how easy it is for the next government to form a coalition.
Our map showing general election results by constituency will be populated with live updates throughout the night.
