Duitse conservatieven vieren verkiezingszege

February 24, 2025 - Germany’s conservative CDU has won the most votes, with party leader Friedrich Merz signalling he hopes to form a government quickly. The far-right AfD took second place.

This election has again highlighted an east-west split, decades on from reunification.

Voting data so far suggests that the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is solidifying its dominance in the former communist east while the Christian Democrats (CDU-CSU) continue to prevail in much of Germany’s south and west, the BBC said.
