Despite these figures, no clear majority emerges, complicating potential coalition formations.

Katharina Fegebank, the Greens' top candidate, aims for a continued Red-Green or Green-Red coalition but dismisses collaboration with the CDU, emphasizing climate change as a competitive arena for innovative solutions. Meanwhile, the FDP prepares a 100-day program for potential governance, focusing on tax cuts, deregulation, and digitalization.

With climate change receding in voter priorities, migration, security, and recent terror incidents dominate the political discourse, influencing party stances and the election's outcome. Ultimately, the election's fragmented landscape underscores the challenges of forming a stable government.
