Before the Bundestag election on 23 February, the candidates fought for votes until the last second. In vain. Instead of four members of parliament, as has been the case since the 2021 election, the Tübingen constituency has no direct candidates in Berlin this time. The reason: an electoral reform reduced the Bundestag to 630 seats.
CDU candidate gets the most first votes
After the electoral reform, candidates with the most first votes no longer automatically enter the Bundestag. There are only as many direct mandates as a party is entitled to according to the result of the second votes. It was not enough for direct candidate Christoph Naser (CDU). According to the preliminary final result, he came first in the Tübingen constituency with 31.7 per cent, ahead of Asli Kücük (Greens) with 24.7 per cent. Naser had a good 12,075 more votes than she did.
The Left Party gained more than four per cent
In terms of second votes, the CDU in the Tübingen constituency came first with 28.5 per cent, ahead of the Greens with 19.2 per cent, the AfD with 16.1 per cent and the SPD with 13.9 per cent. The result of the Left Party was unexpectedly high. With 9.6 per cent (2021: 5.2 per cent), it came in fifth place.
FDP and BSW fail to make it into the Bundestag
At the federal level, CDU/CSU also won 28.5 per cent (208 seats). The second strongest party with 20.8 per cent was the AfD (152 seats). They were followed by the SPD with 16.4 per cent (120 seats), the Greens with 11.6 per cent (85 seats), the Left Party with 8.77 per cent (64 seats) and the SSW (1 seat). The FDP is no longer represented in the Bundestag. The new BSW party also failed to clear the 5 per cent hurdle.
