Der SPD-Kanzlerkandidat hatte angekündigt, im Fall eines gewonnenen Direktmandats die gesamte Legislaturperiode im Bundestag zu bleiben. Und: Im Osten der Republik liegt die AfD vielerorts unangefochten vorn. Vor-Ort-Beobachtungen und die Live-Analyse im SPIEGEL-Blog.
The 2025 Bundestagswahl saw significant shifts in Germany's political landscape. Robert Habeck stepped back from seeking a leadership role within the Greens, while the party faced disappointing results. Sahra Wagenknecht of the Bündnis 90/Die Grünen hinted at legal challenges over their narrow miss of the Bundestag entry threshold. The AfD solidified its position, particularly in Eastern Germany, with strong performances. The SPD gained ground, and voter turnout reached a 40-year high. Berlin's election administration ran smoothly, avoiding the issues faced in 2021. The results set the stage for potential legal challenges and strategic shifts as parties prepare for the next government formation.
