The polling stations are open: state elections have started in the southern German states of Bavaria and Hesse.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats, Greens and Liberals recorded losses, while the right-wing populist AfD made gains.

According to calculations by the television channels ARD and ZDF, Prime Minister Markus Söder’s CSU in Bavaria was 36.5 to 37.0 percent (2018: 37.2 percent). The number of Free Voters who co-governed improved to 14 percent (2018: 11.6 percent).

AfD gets 16 percent of the votes in Bavaria

The Greens, the largest opposition force in Bavaria to date, fell slightly, reaching 15.5 to 16.0 percent (2018: 17.5 percent). The AfD improved significantly to 15 to 16 percent (2018: 10.2 percent). The chancellor’s SPD party again achieved only a single-digit result in Bavaria with 8.5 percent (2018: 9.7 percent). According to forecasts, the FDP (Liberals) failed to reach the five percent threshold for re-entry into the state parliament by 3.0 percent (2018: 5.1 percent).

In Hesse, Prime Minister Boris Rhein’s CDU made significant gains and achieved 34.5 to 35.5 percent according to forecasts (2018: 27 percent). The Greens, the previous coalition partner, fell to 15.5 percent (2018: 19.8 percent).

Important mood test

The SPD, with Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser as its top candidate, remained in its former stronghold with 15 to 16 percent, still below the historically weak result of 2018 (19.8 percent). The AfD gained ground in Hesse, reaching 16 to 17 percent (2018: 13.1 percent). According to forecasts, the left, which was previously represented in the Hessian state parliament, failed due to the threshold clause with 3.5 percent (2018: 6.3 percent), while the FDP had to worry with 5.0 percent (2018: 7.5 percent) about re-entry. per cent).

The elections in the two economically strong countries, home to almost 24 percent of Germany’s population, were seen as an important mood test halfway through the Berlin ‘traffic light coalition’ consisting of the SPD, FDP and the Greens. The next election date in Germany is not until June 9 with the European Parliament elections and local elections in nine states.
