In Rhineland-Palatinate's state election, the CDU won with 31 percent ahead of the SPD's 25.9 percent, ending 35 years of opposition. The AfD achieved its best result in a western German state at 19.5 percent, becoming the third strongest force. A grand coalition under CDU leader Gordon Schnieder is likely.
Cem Özdemir's Greens have narrowly won the Baden-Württemberg state election with 30.2 percent of the vote ahead of the CDU's 29.7 percent. Both parties secure 56 seats each in the state parliament, while the SPD plummets to a historic low of 5.5 percent. The FDP and Left fail to enter the parliament.

In Saxony-Anhalt, the coalition parties CDU, SPD, and FDP have approved the early transition from Minister President Reiner Haseloff to Sven Schulze. The 71-year-old Haseloff seeks to continue the black-red-yellow coalition without changes to ministry distributions. The aim is to give Schulze an incumbency advantage ahead of the 2026 state election.
