CDU boss Friedrich Merz failed on Tuesday with the attempt to be elected the new Chancellor in the German Bundestag. In the first vote, he missed the necessary Chancellor with six votes.
Merz had previously made it clear that he expects a choice to become a Chancellor in the first mood. The CDU chairman must at least receive the voices of the majority of the Bundestag members-that is at least 316 for 630 MPs. Only 310 members of parliament with “yes” voted.
CDU/CSU (208) and SPD (120) together have 328 mandates, only more than twelve more than they absolutely need. According to session participants, the trade union party, Steffen Bilger (CDU), announced that the participants in the Union were completed that the trade union was completed.
In the election of the new parliamentary group leader Jens Spahn (CDU) the day before, several members were missing due to illness. The SPD parliamentary group was also completed in the profession of the province before the Bundestag session.
