Campaigning Winding Down in Brandenburg Ahead of Elections

Campaigning in Brandenburg, Germany, was in its final stages before elections to the region’s parliament with major parties scaling back activities. Only the Christian Democrats (CDU) held a formal campaign event, while the Social Democrats (SPD) state Premier Woidke focused on surveying flood defenses amid anticipated flooding.

CDU leader Merz visited Potsdam for a campaign event, emphasizing the party’s differences from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). Other parties concluded their formal campaigning, while a concert in Potsdam aimed to counter a ‘shift to the right’ against the AfD.

Elsewhere, a minor party’s bid for more TV time was rejected by the Constitutional Court ahead of election results announcement. As the polls approach, the political landscape in Brandenburg remains dynamic and full of uncertainties.
