LIVE | Merz fails to secure majority in German parliament, new vote or snap election likely
Conservative leader Friedrich Merz failed in his bid to become Germany’s next chancellor on Tuesday, falling six votes short of a required majority in the Bundestag despite a coalition agreement with the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD). The surprise result, delivered by secret ballot, has thrown Germany’s political future into uncertainty and raised questions over the viability of the CDU/CSU-SPD alliance. Bundestag President Julia Kloeckner suspended the session, as parties scrambled to regroup. Under Germany’s constitution, lawmakers have 14 days to elect a chancellor by absolute majority before the president must intervene—potentially triggering fresh elections.
