Interesting development in Germany: Friedrich Merz went flat on his face in the Bundestag today as he became the first candidate in German history to not get enough votes in the first round of voting to be elected Chancellor. His coalition is supposed to have an absolute majority (50% + 1) in Parliament but the German constitution requires that the parliament votes anonymously to appoint the Chancellor and officially form the government. Merz didn’t get enough votes, showing some members of his own coalition turned on him. They’re voting again in 14 days and if he still doesn’t obtain an absolute majority by then, new elections will most likely be held. I’m assuming they won’t let that happen though, and they’ll do everything to have everyone on board to avoid AfD from getting another shot at becoming the largest party; But hey, a girl can dream. Fingers crossed.

🇩🇪 Friedrich Merz did not have enough votes to be elected Chancellor of Germany in the first round.
He received 310 votes (316 are needed to be elected).
307 deputies voted “against”. There are 630 deputies in the Bundestag. pic.twitter.com/xDdDbpbnyb

🇩🇪 THE FACE YOU MAKE WHEN NOBODY WANTS YOU:
Merz negotiated for months and made a deal to be chancellor and then … the parliament failed to vote him in as the new chancellor.
He will be voted in one of the next votes surely, but that’s embarrassing.pic.twitter.com/3AVpdPSmVI https://t.co/2kmSQQKGTW

Merz Unexpectedly Fails To Secure Chancellorship in First Bundestag Vote
In what is seen as unprecedented in post-war German history, Merz failed to secure the majority needed to form a government in the first vote in the German federal parliament.
TEC NEWS
CDU president Friedrich Merz was not elected chancellor today, contrary to expectations, as he fell short of the votes he would have needed to form a majority in parliament.
Merz needed 316 votes in the 630-seat Bundestag but only received 310, which is a significant loss of face for the Christian Democrat leader, as 18 MPs who had been expected to back him dissented.
Reports highlight that such a failure in the first vote is unprecedented in modern German history.
The Bundestag will now have another 14 days to choose either Merz or another candidate as chancellor.
