All information in the result ticker.

Berlin - On September 26, not only a new Bundestag will be elected in Berlin.

Around 2.5 million Berliners are called upon to cast their vote for the state parliament there - what is known as the House of Representatives.

Berlin also elects a mayor and the successor to SPD politician Michael Müller.

He is running for the Bundestag and is no longer running.

The polls before the Berlin election promise a close race.

Can the SPD maintain the mayor's office?

Results of the Berlin election 2021: SPD in the polls ahead

Similar to the national trend, the Greens were in a good starting position for a long time and in some cases were even in the lead.

Then, however, the tide changed in favor of the SPD to top candidate Franziska Giffey, who took the lead with 22 to 23 percent.

In second place, depending on the survey, followed with 17 to 18 percent of the Greens with their candidate Bettina Jarasch or the CDU of top candidate Kai Wegner with 16 to 19 percent.

A week before the Berlin election, however, a ZDF poll caused a surprise: This saw the Social Democrats with 21 percent only one percentage point ahead of the Greens with 20 percent.

The ARD, on the other hand, determined 24 percent for the SPD and only 18 percent for the Greens.

The CDU was seen at 16 to 17 percent.

Berlin election 2021: continuation of the alliance of the SPD, the Greens and the Left?

According to the polls shortly before the Berlin election, the order behind it looks clearer: The left has twelve to 15 percent. The AfD can count on nine to twelve percent, the FDP with seven to nine percent. Both the liberals and the left can hope for participation in the government as part of a possible three-way alliance.

The question of the possible coalitions after the Berlin election is quite exciting.

In 2016 Michael Müller formed the first red-red-green state government under social democratic leadership.

The coalition partners SPD, Linke and Greens can now look back on five largely successful years.

Although the three parties "are actually very close politically", there were "frictions" at the start of office, Müller took stock in the spring.

After initial difficulties, the SPD politician also praised the “very close and very trusting cooperation”. A continuation of R2G is not ruled out.

Berlin election 2021: CDU favors Germany alliance with SPD and FDP

The CDU meanwhile has other ideas and would like to finally get out of the opposition. Whether she will be the mayor again after Klaus Wowereit (2001 to 2014) is questionable based on the current polls on the Berlin election. However, the Christian Democrats could still rule - if the SPD wants to. The Christian Democrats are particularly fond of an alliance between Germany and the FDP. The currently smallest parliamentary group in the state parliament, the FDP, is toying with this alliance.

Incidentally, in Berlin, as in the federal government, there is a five percent hurdle.

Small parties like the party, the animal welfare party or the pirates were much stronger in the last election than at the federal level.

These parties only receive seats in the House of Representatives if an applicant from the party with the first votes wins a direct mandate in an electoral district.

However, no politician managed that in 2016.
