In the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia, the CDU became the strongest force on Sunday. According to ARD and ZDF forecasts at 6 p.m., the previous ruling party was well ahead of the opposition SPD party. However, the previous CDU/FDP coalition no longer has a majority. According to the figures, the FDP and AfD should be concerned about re-entering the state parliament in Düsseldorf. The Greens are in third place with a record result.
According to figures from ARD and ZDF, the CDU achieved 35 percent. It is followed by the SPD at 27.5 to 28 percent. The Greens came in third with 18 to 18.5 percent. The FDP, which previously formed the state government together with the CDU, is 5 to 5.5 percent. The AfD is at 5.5 to 6 percent. The left is well below the 5% threshold.
It is unclear who will govern the most populous state in the future. According to the figures, several coalitions are possible.
