2025 German federal election | |
|---|---|
The 21st Bundestag, the federal parliament of Germany, was elected in the 23 February 2025 federal election, and was constituted on 25 March 2025.
The President of the Bundestag is Julia Klöckner (CDU).
The 21st Bundestag has 630 members, 103 seats smaller than the 20th Bundestag had been at 733 members. It has 208 members of the CDU/CSU, originally 152 members of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), 120 members of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), 85 members of Alliance 90/The Greens (Grüne), 64 members of The Left (Linke), and one member of the South Schleswig Voters' Association.
On 2 May 2025 the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, (BfV) Germany's federal domestic intelligence agency, classified the AfD as a "confirmed right-wing extremist" organisation. This classification was temporarily suspended by the BfV just a week after its announcement. One parliamentarian (Sieghard Knodel) has left the party in the time between.
On 6 May 2025 Friedrich Merz (CDU) was elected as Chancellor of Germany and sworn in alongside his cabinet. Merz failed to garner the required absolute majority of parliamentary votes in a first round of voting – a first in German history for a chancellor candidate.
