For the eighth time in a row since 1990, the SPD has won the state election in Brandenburg. According to the state electoral administration, the party of Minister President Dietmar Woidke achieved 30.9%, an even better result than in 2019. The AfD, which had long been ahead in the polls, achieved 29.2% after all votes had been counted. Sahra Wagenknecht's alliance, which ran for the first time, came third with 13.5 percent, while the CDU only achieved 12.1 percent, its worst result in state elections in Brandenburg to date. The Greens, Left Party, FDP and Free Voters 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.
