メルツ首相率いる保守与党キリスト教民主同盟(CDU)は得票率18%弱で、前回から半減の惨敗。メルツ氏は党内での求心力が一段と失われ、首相交代を求める動きが活発化する可能性がある。
東独独裁政党の流れをくむ左派党と中道左派の社会民主党(SPD)、環境政党の緑の党が9%前後で並んだ。ポピュリスト新党BSWは、比例議席獲得の最低得票率5%の当落線上にある。
AfD州首相候補のジークムント州議は「歴史を刻んだ」と勝利を宣言。同党との連携を唯一排除していないBSWの協力を得られれば、政権樹立が近づくが、「妥協はしない」と強調した。AfD抜きでの多数派形成は困難で、新政権を巡り流動的な政局が続く見通しだ。
