The German president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, dissolved the Bundestag and announced early elections on 23 February 2025. He agreed to the request of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, whose minority government did not receive a vote of confidence.
The German political landscape is undergoing significant changes as early elections have been called, prompted by a series of political crises and shifting alliances. This decision comes after months of instability within the ruling coalition, marked by disagreements over policy, leadership challenges, and public discontent with the government's handling of various issues including economic recovery post-COVID, climate policies, and immigration. The call for early elections has been influenced by the rise of new political parties and movements, reflecting a broader dissatisfaction with traditional parties. This move is seen as an attempt to restore public trust and address the urgent need for a fresh mandate to tackle pressing national and international challenges. The upcoming elections are expected to reshape the Bundestag, potentially leading to a new coalition government or even a shift in the political spectrum of Germany.
