Germany has spoken! Provisional election results show the CDU/CSU has swept to victory following the nationwide vote on Sunday.Â
The centre-right alliance scooped over 28 percent of the vote, putting them well ahead of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) with 20 percent, the centre-left SPD with just over 16 percent and the Greens with 11.6 percent. The Left Party (Die Linke) managed to achieve about 8.8 percent, while other parties - including the FDP and the BSW - failed to reach the five percent hurdle to make it into the Bundestag.Â
The centre-right alliance is seeking to build a coalition government, with Friedrich Merz as German chancellor.
