Recommended for Middle Grades

Let’s dive into the exciting world of politics and talk about the German national election. It’s all about choosing the people who will make important decisions for the country. The election took place on September 26, 2021, in Germany.

Important Details

  • In the election, the Social Democratic Party, also known as the SPD, came out on top! They got the most votes from the people of Germany. It’s like when your favorite team wins a game and becomes the champion. The SPD was competing against another group called the CDU/CSU conservative bloc, which is a combination of two parties. The CDU/CSU was led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has been the leader of Germany for a long time.
  • But guess what? Angela Merkel decided not to run in this election. So, after 16 years of conservative-led rule, it’s time for a change. The SPD wants to form a new coalition government, which means they want to work together with other parties to make important decisions for the country.
  • Let’s talk about the Bundestag! It’s a fancy name for the German federal parliament. Just like in a game, the German people get to choose the members of the Bundestag. There are 735 seats in the Bundestag, and each seat represents a person who will make decisions for the country.
  • In this election, the SPD won 208 seats, which is the most. The CDU/CSU got 196 seats, and another party called The Greens won 118 seats. The head of the SPD, Olaf Scholz, could become the next Chancellor of Germany. The Chancellor is like the boss of the government and makes important decisions for the country.
  • So, our curious reader, the German national election was an exciting event where the SPD came out on top, and they might have a new Chancellor. It’s fascinating to see how people choose their leaders and how elections can bring about changes in a country. Keep your eyes open for more news and exciting events like this!
