Germany’s Social Democratic Party (SPD) has ruled out delaying legislative elections following its defeat in Sunday’s European elections, which saw the current government’s main party slip into third place.
The SPD, in whose election campaign Chancellor Olaf Scholz personally participated, won 13.9%, the worst result in the history of national elections and a far cry from the 30% achieved by the conservative bloc led by the CDU on Sunday. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party came second with 15.90%.
The Social Democrats’ government partners also fell, with the Greens losing almost half the vote to 11.9% and the Liberals gaining 5.2% of the vote, according to the final tally.
