Schleswig-Holstein's Prime Minister Daniel Günther wants to talk to the Greens and the FDP about continuing the Jamaica coalition.

"I said before the election that I would like to continue governing in Jamaica, and that's why it's perfectly clear to me that I'll say clearly after the election that I'll hold talks with the Greens and the FDP," said Günther on Sunday in the NDR.

Kiel - According to the current projections, the CDU only needs one coalition partner - the Greens, FDP or the South Schleswig Voters' Association (SSW) - with a probable election result of more than 40 percent.

While the Greens are likely to achieve their best election result in history, the FDP will have to accept losses in the foreseeable future.

For Günther, however, this is irrelevant.

"The FDP has also done an excellent job in this coalition," he emphasized.

That is why he will also hold talks with the Greens and the FDP.

However, an alliance with the SSW is unlikely.

Referring to his statements before the election, Günter said that his contacts were the Greens and the FDP.
