The coalition talks in the capital can now begin, and all party committees have agreed.
There is a long negotiation phase ahead of the negotiators.
Berlin - The way for coalition negotiations between the SPD, the Greens and the Left in Berlin is clear.
As the last party committee, a special party conference of the left voted with a clear majority on Tuesday evening for the start of such negotiations on the formation of a government.
On Monday, the state boards of the SPD and the Left as well as a state committee of the Greens had already approved the project.
Party leader Katina Schubert and top candidate Klaus Lederer campaigned at the meeting to negotiate a new coalition with the SPD and the Greens.
"We want to shape, we want to implement left-wing politics in this city," said Lederer.
Schubert and Lederer emphasized that the left want to implement the successful referendum for the expropriation of large housing companies without restriction.
In order not to “fall on the nose” legally, as with the rent cap, it is important to activate all of the expertise in order to work out a workable law, said Schubert.
Lederer said the left is the only reliable guarantee that work will be carried out on the implementation of the referendum.
"It's not about whether we can enforce the referendum, but how."
According to the exploratory paper that the SPD, the Greens and the Left had agreed on last week, an expert commission is to examine the “possibilities, ways and prerequisites for implementation” of the referendum and develop recommendations for further action by the Senate within a year.
The issue is one of the most controversial between the three parties.

Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) is skeptical of a possible coalition of the SPD and CDU at the federal level.
"This is really not seen by all sides as a good idea," said Weil to the "Weser-Kurier" (Thursday).

Numerous critics of the party leadership's line also spoke up at the party congress.
Among other things, they criticized the fact that the exploratory paper contained too few left-wing goals.
Some delegates pleaded for the approval of the SPD and the Greens to implement the referendum to be a prerequisite for starting coalition talks.
The delegates decided on a paper in which the left summarized the points that are particularly important to them.
In addition to the implementation of the referendum, this includes investments in public infrastructure, the continuation of housing purchases in addition to social housing, a training offensive for teachers, a better functioning administration and localization of the S-Bahn.
The SPD, the Greens and the Left have been ruling together in Berlin since 2016.
After lengthy explorations, the SPD, which again became the strongest force in the House of Representatives election on September 26th, decided to forge a new alliance between the three parties for the next five years.
Negotiations should start on Friday and be completed by the end of November.
