Federal election 2025: Who will be the next chancellor of Germany?

Only eleven weeks left until the federal election! The countdown is on and the political landscape in Germany is turning rapidly. Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) plans to ask for trust in the Bundestag on December 11, 2024. This is the first decisive decision after the traffic light coalition, consisting of the SPD, Greens and FDP, collapsed. If he loses the vote of confidence on December 16th, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier can dissolve the Bundestag within three weeks, which is a possible scenario until January 6th. How in Franconia report, the early federal election is now set for February 23rd.

Looking at voter favorability

What about voter preferences? Surprisingly, the SPD has made slight gains in the latest polls and now reaches 16 percent, while the Union is at 32 percent, which means a slight decline. The mood in Bavaria is particularly relevant: According to the Bavaria trend, the CSU is the dominant force with 45 percent. These results are particularly significant as they will have a significant impact on the parties' electoral strategy, as well as ZVW is presented.

The political pressure on Scholz and his successors is growing because, according to CDU leader Friedrich Merz, hardly any decisions can be made on a larger level until the election. Against the backdrop of this charged political situation, all parties must rethink their strategies in order to make themselves attractive to voters. The outcome of these elections could not only influence the direction of German politics, but also threaten the long-term stability of the government. A look at future coalitions will be crucial in order to pick up the pieces of the failed traffic light coalition.
