Dusseldorf. In the local elections in Lower Saxony, the CDU received the most votes at district level and is ahead of the SPD, which has 24.6 percent, with 27.2 percent. Both parties lost a significant number of votes compared to the previous election. The AfD was able to benefit from this, more than tripling its result to 16.5 percent - five years ago it only got 4.6 percent.
CDU state leader Sebastian Lechner spoke of a vote of confidence from the voters. The “displeasure with Berlin was clear during the election campaign,” he said on Sunday evening. But: “People differentiate very carefully: They see the national political mood, but here in the country they trust us,” said Lechner.
“And we have impressively shown that the CDU can win elections even in these times.” He attested that his union had a “credibility problem” that needed to be discussed calmly in the next few weeks.
