Schleswig-Holstein's FDP parliamentary group leader Christopher Vogt sees the liberals in a government with the CDU despite losses in the state elections.

"A lot went over to the CDU.

We would have wished for less.

(...) I still believe that we can form a government together," said Vogt on Sunday on NDR television.

Kiel - He admitted that the survey data had been better than the forecast.

"We would have wished for a better result." According to forecasts by ARD and ZDF, the FDP will have 7 percent of the state elections.

That is 4.5 percentage points less than in the 2017 state election. dpa
