German Federal Election Results: Centre-Left SPD Emerges as Largest Party
Official Provisional Results Announced
Official provisional results from the German federal elections held on 26 September 2021 show a narrow victory for Olaf Scholz's centre-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), which has edged ahead of Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
SPD Projected to Lead New Bundestag
According to projected results posted by the federal German election agency at 4:30 am, the SPD is set to become the largest party in Germany's new federal parliament, the Bundestag. The close outcome suggests that the Social Democrats have narrowly defeated Merkel's CDU, which has governed Germany for the past 16 years.
