Perhaps what happened in the Bundestag (lower house of Parliament) a year ago, on May 6, 2025, when the Christian Democrat Friedrich Merz became Chancellor of Germany, was somewhat prophetic. The winner of the elections was elected Chancellor in a second vote after failing to secure enough votes from the deputies in the first vote, an unprecedented event in the history of the Federal Republic.
