Election in Brandenburg 2024: SPD decides on exploratory talks with BSW and CDU – Politics

Preliminary final result: SPD wins, no majority for red-black

The preliminary official final result is in: According to it, the SPD won the state election in Brandenburg with 30.9 percent of the second votes. The AfD received 29.2 percent. This was followed by the newly founded Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), which received 13.5 percent of the vote straight away, and the CDU with 12.1 percent.

This means that the SPD remains the strongest political force in the state, performing better than in 2019 and winning the state election for the eighth time in a row. An SPD Prime Minister has governed Brandenburg since 1990. For the CDU, this is the worst result to date in a state election in this federal state.

The Greens (4.2 percent), the Left (3.0 percent) and BVB/Free Voters (2.6 percent) are no longer represented in the state parliament. Like the FDP, they all failed to clear the five percent hurdle and did not win a single direct mandate that would have helped them enter the state parliament.

At 72.9 percent, voter turnout was higher than ever before in state elections in Brandenburg.

The SPD needs the BSW to get a government majority

A Kenya coalition of the SPD, CDU and Greens has been governing in Brandenburg so far – it has now been voted out. According to the latest projections by ARD and ZDF, the SPD and CDU together do not have enough seats to gain a majority of 45 seats in the new state parliament, which will have a total of 88 members. In future, the SPD will have 32, the AfD 30, the BSW 14 and the CDU 12. The SPD is therefore dependent on a coalition with the BSW in order to gain a majority in parliament. All parties have ruled out forming a coalition with the AfD.
