Part 1/8:
Overview of the 2025 German Federal Election Results
On Sunday, Germany held its 2025 federal elections, witnessing a historic voter turnout of 84%, the highest since 1987. The election resulted in a decisive victory for the center-right Christian Democrats (CDU), while the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party marked a significant upswing, doubling its vote share from the previous election in 2021. In stark contrast, the incumbent parties, including the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens, and the Free Democratic Party (FDP), faced disappointing losses, with both the FDP and the Left Party (BW) failing to secure parliamentary seats.
