[Preliminary vote counting results show that the Left Party has become the largest party in the Berlin State Parliament in Germany] September 21st, the preliminary vote counting results announced in the early morning of the 21st local time showed that the Left Party had a clear lead in the Berlin State Parliament election in Germany with a vote rate of 25.7%, becoming the largest party in the Berlin State Parliament election for the first time, and setting the best result in the history of the party in Berlin. In the 2023 election, the Left Party won 12.2% of the vote. The votes of the Christian Democrats and the Social Democratic Party, which were previously in power, both declined significantly. The Christian Democratic Union ranked second with 18.8%, and the Social Democratic Party only received 12.1%, setting a record for the party's lowest vote share in Berlin. The AfD ranked third with 16.3%, and the Green Party won 14.3%. In the new state parliament, the previous ruling combination of the CDU and the Social Democratic Party can no longer continue. The Left Party said it would start consultations with the Green Party and the Social Democratic Party to form a government. According to the German electoral system, political parties usually need to obtain at least 5% of the valid votes or win a specified number of direct seats to enter the state parliament. Neither the Sarah Wagenknecht Alliance, which received 4.7% of the vote, nor the FDP, which received 2.5%, entered the state parliament.
