On February 23, elections to parliament will be held in Germany. They will depend on their results who will become the new Chancellor of Germany and what the country’s foreign policy will be.
In order to get seats in the German Bundestag, the party has to gain more than 5% of the vote or receive at least three direct mandates in separate constituencies. Briefly about – About important details of the future plebiscite.
Why these elections are early Initially, elections to Parliament were to take place in the fall of 2025. But in The ruling coalition emerged a crisis, and on December 16, 2024, the Parliament issued a vote of distrust of the Government of Olaf Solz. On December 27, Germany President Frank-Valter Steinmeier, at the request of Chancellor Olaf Solz, dissolved the 20th Bundestag and awarded early parliamentary elections on February 23, 2025.

Who can become the next German Chancellor All six parties nominated their candidates. Friedrich Merz is running from the CDS/CSU block. He has been a deputy of the Bundestag since 1994, but in 2009 he did not turn because of differences with Angela Merkel. In 2021, after Merkel refused to participate in the elections, he went to the Bundestag again. Merz is considered an economically liberal and socially conservative politician. According to the survey, it is most likely to become a new Bundescanler.
The alternative for Germany has chosen a candidate for the post of chancellor of her head Alice Vaidel. But since this party in some regions is classified by the Federal Office for the Protection of the German Constitution as a Right Extremist, it has no chance of getting into the government, since all other parties refuse to create a coalition with it.
The candidate from the Social Democratic Party was the current chancellor Olaf Soltz, which belongs to the conservative wing of the party. According to polls, he has a chance to become a chancellor.
The Greens put forward their candidate with the co -chair of Robert Habek’s party. In the current government, he holds the position of Vicecanzler. In his party, Habec is considered a rather pragmatic supporter of environmental changes in the economy and society. According to recent polls, his chances of becoming a chancellor are small.
The main candidates from the “left” are Jan Van Aken and Heidi Reichinek. The left party adheres to anti-fascist-socialist views. The survey shows that the party is on the turn of five percent.
Sarah Wagenknecht is nominated by a chancellor from a party that bears her name: “Sarah Wagenknecht Union.” Adheres to left and nationalist views. According to polls, BSW may well go to the Bundestag, but there is no chance to become a chancellor.
Former Finance Minister Christian Lindner is involved in political race as a chief candidate from a free democratic party. He was the Minister of Finance in the Chancellor Scholz government until his resignation caused the new elections. Lindner is considered an economically liberal politician, but according to polls, his party may not get to the Bundestag because of a five percent barrier.
What to wait for Ukraine The main contender for the post of new German Chancellor is considered to be the leader of the CDU Friedrich Merz. He is convinced of a supporter of Ukraine and its support. “The Ukrainian president was democratically legitimized, and the Russian president remains in power through a fictitious election. We are on the side of democracy. We are on the side of Ukraine. Only with this clarity can this terrible war be finished, ”he said on social networks.
Merz also opposes Donald Trump’s attempts to force Ukraine to actual surrender. He also spoke for providing Ukraine with German winged Taurus missiles.
What do surveys and ratings suggest According to a survey by the MOGOV Public Opinion Institute, made to order Die Welt, the leadership with 27% holds the CDU/CSU. In the second place-the far-right “Alternative for Germany” (20%), the Social Democratic Party of Chancellor Olaf Solz can receive 17%. “Greens” – 12%. The left party can get 9% from voter support. The Union of Sarah Wagenknecht is 5%, and the Free Democratic Party is 4%.
