Düsseldorf has cast its vote, securing three locals a spot in the German federal parliament, known as the Bundestag.
In the recent Düsseldorf election, a tense atmosphere filled the town hall as the CDU, SPD, FDP, and The Left gathered to watch the projections and forecasts together. The election night was filled with excitement, disappointment, and celebration as the results began to roll in.
Johannes Winkel, the chairman of the Young Union, secured the Düsseldorf II constituency, enabling him to go to Berlin. Winkel, a debutant in the Bundestag, will join Thomas Jarzombek (CDU) and Sara Nanni (Greens) to represent Dusseldorf in the Bundestag. Jarzombek, a current member of the German Bundestag, has secured another term in Berlin through his list position and winning the constituency.
A total of 339,004 votes were counted in the Düsseldorf election. The preliminary official results for second votes in Düsseldorf are as follows: CDU - 28.00%, SPD - 17.96%, Greens - 17.73%, AfD - 11.30%, The Left - 10.53%, FDP - 6.75%, BSW - 4.15%, and Other - 3.59%.
The results in the north and south of Dusseldorf are subject to official confirmation. In the north, the CDU leads with 34.45%, followed by the SPD with 19.03%, Greens with 18.45%, AfD with 10.50%, The Left with 10.36%, FDP with 6.13%, and BSW with 3.02%. In the south, the CDU has 20.85%, SPD has 28.06%, Greens have 20.89%, AfD has 12.16%, The Left has 10.93%, FDP has 6.07%, and BSW has 3.14%.
The Greens, represented by Anas Al-Qura'an in the northern part and Sara Nanni in the southern part, are celebrating a good result. Nanni, who is already a member of the Bundestag, and the results of the Greens and their list position in NRW secure them another term in Berlin.
The FDP experienced disappointment as the first projections showed them at 4.9%, and the suspense of the evening began. Downcast faces were seen at the FDP, indicating that their fears had been confirmed. Dr. Zanda Martens and Adis Selimi, both from the SPD, knew it would be difficult for their party. Martens, the chairperson of Dusseldorf SPD, will now focus on the local election campaign, while Selimi wants to continue to play a role in Dusseldorf SPD.
For the SPD and the Greens, the information on specific Bundestag candidates and their constituencies in Düsseldorf is not explicitly provided in the available search results. However, both parties are active in Düsseldorf local politics, with prominent local politicians like Fabian Zachel (SPD) and Clara Gerlach (Greens) engaged in municipal elections, but no direct Bundestag candidacies are detailed for them in Düsseldorf constituencies at this time.
The election was conducted across 305 polling stations where votes could be cast in person on Sunday. A total of 4,200 election helpers were on duty, with over 1,400 in the exhibition hall to count the votes of postal voters.
The Left party was also celebrating a good result, with Julia Marmulla, who ran in the north of Dusseldorf, popping champagne corks. Other parties chose external locations for their election night events.
As the dust settles, the elected representatives will prepare for their journey to Berlin, while the parties that did not fare as well will regroup and strategize for the future.
