German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has lost a confidence vote in the Bundestag, triggering the dissolution of parliament and setting the stage for early elections on February 23, 2025. The confidence vote, held on Monday afternoon following the collapse of his coalition government, saw 207 members voting in support, 394 against, and 116 abstentions. Scholz's Social Democratic Party (SPD) has been losing popularity, adding to the challenges facing his government. He is expected to request the dissolution of parliament from President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, paving the way for snap elections.
