With an 84% turnout, the highest since 1990, the exit poll results for the German elections are as follows. Official results will begin to be released soon, but if these numbers hold, the center-right CDU/CSU has won with 29% of the vote, followed by the far-right AfD with 19.5%.

The AfD was the biggest gainer in this election, increasing its vote share by 9.1%, though the party had expected an even stronger result—especially after a major advertising push by Elon Musk and U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who personally traveled to Germany to offer his support to the AfD.

These numbers may change in the coming hours as official results are released. nostr:note1vv53uu93eeh2xspeq8grph92usruv7n8a5ds8clpvzuzwaak4ncq0j5pzn

Estimated Number of Seats in the German Parliament After Today’s Elections

The AfD made significant gains, but the party had expected a better result, especially after a major advertising campaign by Elon Musk and Trump’s VP, JD Vance. Some political analysts believe that the party’s excessive focus on pro-Russia narratives may have hurt its electoral performance.

During the campaign, the AfD stated that one of its first measures would be to block all aid for Ukraine’s defense against the Russian invasion and restore full economic, diplomatic, and trade ties with Vladimir Putin.

The AfD saw strong growth when its primary focus was combating illegal immigration, but its momentum stalled and slightly declined when it shifted toward pro-Russia messaging. This strategy worked well in former East Germany, but in the rest of the country, the average German voter became wary and distanced themselves from the party.
