Support for left-wing parties has collapsed in Berlin after elections were re-run in the city on Sunday over “errors” in the previous ballot.
An election re-run in the German capital of Berlin has seen support for the political right surge, with the centrist Christian Democratic Union seeing a seismic ten-point rise over the previous ballot.
Although the city had already seen elections take place in 2021, numerous “errors” and other anomalies in the voting process eventually resulted in the ballot being, this re-run has seen the mandates for every major left-wing party in the German capital decline significantly, with the three outfits that previously ruled the city — the Social Democratic Party , Die Linke, and the Green Party — all seeing their support drop between 0.5 to 3 per cent.
Meanwhile, both the centre-right CDU and populist Alternative for Germany surged, with the former seeing a massive 10.2 per cent rise in its vote over the previous election that was eventually struck out in the German courts late last year. The other major loser on Sunday was the Free Democratic Party which saw its support fall by 2.5 points.
While ostensibly a Libertarian party, its close links with the country’s left has resulted in its sudden drop in support, with the party teaming up with the SPD and Greens over the last two years to implementLast year’s German elections in Berlin were so riddled with irregularities that six contingencies should redo their votes, an official said.
