Friedrich Merz, leader of Germany's conservative CDU/CSU bloc, won the federal election with 28.8% of the vote, ahead of the far-right AfD at 20.2% and Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats at 16.2%, their worst result since WWII. The election results reflect significant challenges for Germany, including economic stagnation and geopolitical tensions. As Merz seeks to form a coalition government, the AfD is set to become the main opposition party, capitalizing on growing support for far-right movements across Europe.
