Friedrich Merz’s CDU/CSU conservative alliance has won Germany’s general election with 28.6% of the vote, according to preliminary results.
At second place was the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which doubled its share of the vote, winning 20.8%.
Preliminary results showed that outgoing chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats (SPD) received 16.4% in a historic low for the party. The SPD’s junior coalition partner, the environmentalist Greens, also saw a drop in support, netting 11.6%.
The pro-businessFree Democrats (FDP), who left Scholz’s coalition in November, received 4.3% of the vote, meaning the party failed to pass the minimum threshold to enter parliament.
The socialist Left Party jumped up to 8.8% of the vote in the preliminary tally.
Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, a member of the EU parliament for the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP), told DW that a long night was ahead of the party as it waited to see whether it would manage to enter the Bundestag.
Preliminary results show the FDP at 4.3% of the vote, which put it under the 5% minimum threshold for representation in parliament.
