The German elections resulted in an unsurprising second place for Alternative for Germany yesterday. It won 152 seats on the back of 83 in 2021. The near doubling of its tally took in all five East German states.
The Christian Democratic Union meanwhile took first place with 164 seats. It’s an increase of 12 since 2021, but 42 less than the Social Democratic Party won last time. It will need a coalition to govern with.
