Election thriller 2025: Who will end up taking power in Germany?

As reports of the Forsa opinion research service, more than 20 percent of voters in Germany are undecided in the upcoming federal election, which means that millions of votes could influence the outcome of the election. SPD party leader Lars Klingbeil commented: "It will be a very tight box". In the current surveys, the Union is clearly ahead with 28 to 31 percent, followed by the AfD with 20 to 21 percent and the SPD with 15 to 16 percent. The Greens also reach considerable values with 13 to 14 percent. Bodo Ramelow from the left expressed optimistic and sees his party on the right track to 6 to 8 percent by catching up to 6 to 8 percent, while FDP and BSW have to be represented in the Bundestag for 4 to 5 and 3 to 5 percent. However, surveys are affected with uncertainties and only reflect on the current opinion of opinion, as well as from Kleinezeitung.at reported.

political coalitions and voters receive support

The question of which coalitions could form after the election remains open. The current constellation of the SPD, FDP and Greens has no longer has a majority, and according to the Rheinland-Pfalz-Portal , a triple coalition could be very complicated, especially with strong votes for smaller parties. One of the concerns of voters living abroad is the punctual delivery of their postal voting documents. So far, over 213,000 Germans have registered, and only 9,000 ballot papers have so far been sent to Germany through the courier service of the Federal Foreign Office. Deutsche Post has assured that everyone will arrive in good time, which is of great importance for many voters.

The great party candidates seem to be more relaxed: Greens Chancellor Robert Habeck has already chosen by letter, while Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz and Chancellor Olaf Scholz want to go directly to the polling station on election Sunday. Scholz also plans to use the day for sporting activities and his wife's birthday. The choice is imminent and all eyes are aimed at an exciting race.
