Green 11.9% (-2,8) / 87 seats

With these results, the CDU candidate, Friedrich Merz, winner of the elections, would need the support of the SPD Social Democrats to be invested Chancellor and be able to form a government, since he has ruled out any entente with the extreme right of alternative for Germany (AFD), which has become the second political force. If the FDP liberals and the populist Porrusa BSW exceed 5% of the votes, they would enter the Bundestag and could force Merz to also seek the support of the greens.
