Summary/Abstract: The election winners in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate are the parties currently governing in the federal states - the Greens (32.6%) and the SPD (35.7%), respectively. The result of the vote was a defeat for the CDU, which recorded its worst result in the history of elections in both regions. The Greens have reasons for satisfaction, as they strengthened the party’s position on the German political scene. The shape of local governments tends to indicate the potential scenario for a coalition at the federal level after elections to the Bundestag, scheduled for later this year.
