🔶 Change in Berlin’s governing mayor after the state election

Parliamentary state elections, in any case, will bring a change in the Berlin mayoralty, because Kai Wegner from the Christian Democratic Union will no longer stand as a candidate for the position of governing mayor or for head of the state government.

In the latest polls, the Left Party was ahead of the Christian Democratic Union by a small margin. Therefore, Elif Eralp, the main candidate of the Left Party, and Stefan Ors, a finance senator from the Christian Democratic Union, could have a chance to hold the position of head of Berlin’s government.

Possible and realistic coalitions could include either a coalition consisting of the Christian Democratic Union, the Greens, and the Social Democrats, or a coalition of the Left Party, the Greens, and the Social Democrats.

Predictions indicate that the two parties currently in the government— the Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democrats—will face a significant decline in votes; in contrast, the Left Party and the Alternative for Germany (AfD) are likely to see a substantial increase in support and votes.
