Update from September 27, 5.43 a.m.:

In the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the SPD of Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig clearly prevailed against the political competition, according to the preliminary official final result.

The Social Democrats achieved 39.6 percent of the vote in the election on Sunday, while the AfD received 16.7 percent and the CDU 13.3 percent, as the election management announced on Monday night in Schwerin.

In initial reactions on election evening, Schwesig left all coalition options open.

According to the preliminary result, the left received 9.9 percent of the vote.

The Greens and FDP moved back into the Schwerin state parliament with 6.3 and 5.8 percent respectively - the Greens after five years and the FDP after ten years.

Compared to 2016, the SPD improved by nine percentage points.

The AfD dropped by around four points, the CDU with its top candidate Michael Sack slipped by around six points to a record low.

The left lost a good three points.

Of the 36 constituencies in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, 34 went directly to the SPD, while the CDU and AfD were each able to book a direct mandate for themselves.

In 2016, the SPD acquired 26 constituencies directly, while there were seven for the CDU and three for the AfD.

The SPD has 34 seats in the new state parliament.

The second strongest force is the AfD with 14 seats, followed by the CDU with twelve seats.

The Left got nine seats, the Greens and FDP five each.

The turnout was 70.8 percent - after 61.6 percent in 2016.

A coalition of the SPD and CDU has ruled Schwerin since 2016, which would again have a comfortable majority.

An alliance between the SPD and the Left, which already existed in the northeast, and a coalition of the SPD, Greens and FDP would also be conceivable.

There is a “very clear vote for the SPD”.


According to the projections by ARD and ZDF (9.42 p.m. and 10 p.m.), the SPD comes to 38.8 to 39.7 percent.

Compared to the 2016 election, it has won the election with 30.6 percent.

It is followed by the AfD, as it was five years ago, with 17.1 to 18.1 percent.

It thus loses compared to 2016, when it reached 20.8 percent from the standstill.


Update from September 26, 9:15 p.m.:

In the ARD it came to 18 percent, in the ZDF it reached 17.8 percent.

According to the ARD projection of 7:56 p.m., the CDU fell to a historically poor election result of 14.3 percent, the ZDF survey of 7.47 p.m. saw the party at 14.2 percent.

The left reached 9.7 percent according to ARD and 9.9 percent according to ZDF.

The Greens came in the ARD on 6.7 percent, in the extrapolation of the ZDF to 5.9 percent.

The CDU with top candidate Michael Sack is threatened with further losses compared to the 2016 election and a result of around 15 percent. The Left Party has a good chance of continuing to be represented in parliament. The Greens and the FDP can hope to return to the state parliament after five and ten years respectively. It would be the first time since 1990 that six parties would be represented in the state parliament.

Results of the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: polling stations close at 6 p.m. - who is ahead then?

Since the latest polls predict a clear result, Schwesig could celebrate her victory before the first projections.

Results of the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: SPD far ahead in surveys

Schwerin - The residents of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are asked to vote twice.

Because in addition to the federal election, which decides on the successor to Angela Merkel, the state election will take place in the state.

For the first time, the previous Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig is standing for re-election.

It will be decided whether she will steer the fortunes of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania as head of the state for another five years.

The Social Democrats have been ruling Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania since 1998, initially under Harald Ringstorff, then Erwin Sellering, and finally Schwesig since 2017.

The SPD are majority partners in a red-black coalition with the CDU.

It is considered likely that this constellation will continue to exist.

Results of the state election of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Schwesig for SPD before re-election

Current surveys show: The SPD is clearly ahead, everything points to an election victory. That means: Even after Sunday, the SPD will in all probability lead a government in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It is still unclear which coalition partners the Social Democrats will bring on board for the next five years. Schwesig (SPD) has so far only publicly excluded the alternative for Germany (AfD) as a possible partner.

Even after more than 15 years of the grand coalition, it cannot be ruled out that Schwesig will continue to govern with the CDU if the election is successful.

Provided that such an alliance appears more stable than a narrow red-red majority with the left or a three-party alliance.

However, the SPD may also orient itself towards the result of the federal election - and where the SPD will steer at the federal level in the event of an election victory.

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state election: The results of the 2016 parliamentary elections

In surveys, the SPD has recently expanded its great lead.

The values ​​were 39 to 40 percent.

So far, the party had only achieved a better result in 2002.

However, the CDU must fear a historic crash.

In 2016 it was only 19 percent.

And that in the political home of Angela Merkel.

The popularity ratings mean well with incumbent Manuela Schwesig.

These are well over 60 percent - and thus well ahead of CDU challenger Michael Sack.

According to the polls, the CDU could end up behind the AfD for the second time.

The right-wing populist party can therefore expect up to 18 percent.

For Die Linke, entry into the state parliament seems certain.

They are ten to eleven percent.

On the other hand, the FDP with five to six percent and the Greens with six to seven percent have to worry.
