Germany Sets Federal Election for February 2025
News summary

Germany will hold its early federal election on February 23, 2025, a decision reached by the leading political parties following the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition government. The election date was expedited due to pressures from opposition leader Friedrich Merz and the need to stabilize the political landscape amid economic challenges. Scholz is expected to request a vote of confidence from the Bundestag on December 16, and his anticipated loss will trigger the election process. This political turmoil occurs as Germany faces economic contraction and geopolitical tensions, particularly related to the ongoing crises in Ukraine and the Middle East. The election campaign will take place during winter, posing challenges for voter engagement. The final election date will be confirmed after the confidence vote, with the President of Germany holding the authority to dissolve parliament if necessary.
