At a small party conference of the state CDU on Wednesday evening, Schleswig-Holstein's Prime Minister Daniel Günther apparently wants to officially propose continuing the coalition with the Greens and the FDP in the new legislative period.
This is reported by the "Welt", which relies on information from a member of the CDU state executive board.
According to information from the dpa news agency, Günther had already submitted this proposal to the CDU parliamentary group.
The CDU does not need a three-party coalition for a majority in the state parliament.
You could also form two-party alliances with all other parties in the state parliament, including the Greens and the FDP.
Günther will explain the unusual step with the high level of approval that the Jamaica alliance enjoys among the population, according to "Welt" in party circles.
Günther announced on the evening of the election that he would speak to both parties.
The North CDU emerged from the state elections on Sunday as by far the strongest party.
According to preliminary results, the CDU gained significant votes in the election and, with 43.4 percent, achieved its best result since 1983.
With a record result of 18.3 percent, the Greens became the second strongest force ahead of the SPD, which experienced a historic debacle with a share of the vote of 16 percent.
According to the preliminary result, the FDP lost significantly and came to 6.4 percent.
The party of the Danish and Frisian minorities, the South Schleswig Voters' Association (SSW), achieved 5.7 percent.
The AfD missed the re-entry into the state parliament with 4.4 percent.
On Tuesday next week, Günther will hold exploratory talks, first with the Greens and then with the FDP.
