German President Dissolves Parliament, Sets Feb. 23 Snap Election After Scholz Loses Confidence Vote
Dec 27, 2024, 10:09 AM
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has dissolved the Bundestag and scheduled early federal elections for February 23, 2025. The decision marks Germany's first snap election in 20 years and follows Chancellor Olaf Scholz's loss of a vote of confidence on December 16, leading to the collapse of the coalition government. With the conservative opposition leading in the polls, the announcement formally sets the stage for a significant political shift. Until the elections, the Bundestag will remain dissolved.
