German elections (File)
As the German election of 2025 unfolds, the political landscape is brimming with anticipation. According to early exit polls, Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his Social Democratic Party (SPD) are expected to face a significant defeat. With exit polls showing a shift in political support, the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led by Friedrich Merz, is poised to take the lead in the election, potentially securing a return to power for the CDU after a turbulent period for the SPD.
One of the most notable developments in this election is the surge in support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which is projected to receive around 20% of the vote. This marks a historic high for the party, reflecting growing discontent among a segment of the German electorate. The Greens are also competing for a significant share of the vote, but their chances of securing a leading role in the next government are slimmer compared to the CDU and AfD.
As the votes are counted, attention will turn to the smaller parties like the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the Left Party, whose results will play a crucial role in determining the viability of forming a coalition government. With the SPD’s expected poor performance, it will be challenging for the current coalition to maintain power, and the formation of the next government will likely require extensive negotiations.
The 2025 German election is set to bring significant changes to the political scene, with the CDU on track for a strong victory and the AfD making unprecedented gains. The final outcome will depend on the seat distribution and coalition talks in the coming days, but it is clear that the political balance in Germany is shifting.
