After the state elections in Brandenburg, the SPD needs the Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) alliance to form a government. According to the provisional official results, the SPD and CDU together do not have a majority in the new state parliament. The SPD could govern alone with the BSW or bring in its previous coalition partner, the CDU, for a three-party alliance.
The SPD became the strongest party with 32 seats (2019: 25 seats). The AfD achieved 30 seats (23). The BSW, which ran for the first time, achieved 14 seats. The CDU received 12 seats (15). The state parliament has a total of 88 seats. There are no overhang seats.
According to the preliminary official results, the SPD has 30.9%. The AfD is close behind with 29.2%. The third strongest party is the BSW with 13.5%. The CDU achieved 12.1%. The Greens, previously part of the coalition, failed to enter the state parliament with 4.1%, as did the Left Party with 3.0% and the BVB/Free Voters with 2.6% - these parties did not win a single direct mandate that would have helped them enter the state parliament. The FDP, which co-governs the federal government, landed a distant 0.8%.
At 72.9% (2019: 61.3%), voter turnout was higher than ever before in state elections in Brandenburg. AfD candidates won in 25 constituencies, while SPD candidates prevailed in 19 constituencies.
