Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's CDU leader Franz-Robert Liskow congratulated his party colleague Hendrik Wüst.

The CDU was the clear winner of the evening, Liskow announced on Sunday evening.

You have a government mandate.

Unlike in Schleswig-Holstein, where Prime Minister Daniel Günther was the driving force, Wüst only had a few months to shine in the State Chancellery.

Schwerin - The CDU leader explained the performance of the SPD in North Rhine-Westphalia that this was also due to the fact that the SPD was still sending unclear signals.

The SPD still does not speak a clear language when it comes to its relations with Russia.

"The SPD still hopes to save itself from the war through a dialogue with Russia that is neither value-driven nor goal-oriented." As in Schleswig-Holstein, the SPD received the receipt for this from the voters.
