Scholz Seeks Confidence Vote on Dec. 16, Triggering Snap Election in February
Dec 11, 2024, 06:15 AM
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is set to formally request a confidence vote in Germany's lower house of parliament on December 11, aiming for a vote on December 16. This move is a precursor to triggering a snap election in late February, following the collapse of his coalition last month. The request for the confidence vote comes as Scholz's term has been compared to the three years under Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, suggesting the end of an era. If the vote is unsuccessful, it could lead to a new federal election, potentially marking the end of Scholz's shortened term in office.
