Historic result in Berlin: Elif Eralp's party won
The state parliament elections held in Berlin, the capital of Germany, were won by the Left Party (Die Linke), for which Turkish-born Elif Eralp is the prime ministerial candidate. According to preliminary results, the party received 25.7 percent of the vote.
In Berlin, the Left Party, which received 12.2% of the vote in 2023, achieved its highest Berlin result ever by reaching 25.7% in this election.
The CDU came in second with 18.8%, the AfD third with 16.3%, the Greens followed with 14.3%, and the SPD trailed with 12.1%.
After the election results, Eralp concluded his speech at the party headquarters with the Turkish words “We made history, friends!”
Housing is on Eralp’s agenda.
45‑year‑old Elif Eralp focused on Berlin’s housing and rent issues during her campaign. In a statement after the election, she said they would make Berlin a better and more livable city together.
Despite the Left Party’s first-place finish, a coalition that secures a majority in the parliament is needed for Eralp to become Berlin’s state premier. The final government lineup will be clarified after coalition talks.
