  • German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday lost a confidence vote in the country's Bundestag, clearing the path for an early election in February.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has lost a confidence vote in the Bundestag, which was strategically initiated by his own coalition to pave the way for an early election.

The decision for an early election, set for February, reflects the coalition's acknowledgment of the need for a fresh mandate to address ongoing economic challenges, the energy crisis, and the war in Ukraine. This development marks a significant moment in German politics, potentially reshaping the political landscape as parties prepare for the upcoming electoral contest.
