The next election to the Landtag of Brandenburg is scheduled for 22 September 2024. It will be the third state election in the former East Germany of the month of September following Thuringia and Saxony.[1]
The outgoing government was a minority government consisting of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and The Greens, led by Minister-President Dietmar Woidke of the SPD.
Background
[edit]The 2019 Brandenburg state election resulted in the formation of the Third Woidke cabinet; a Kenya coalition of the SPD, CDU, and Greens.[2] The SPD became the strongest party with small losses, just ahead of the AfD, which gained many votes. The CDU lost significantly and fell from second to third place. Die Linke also lost significantly and ended up behind the Greens. Brandenburg United Civic Movements/Free Voters remained in state parliament with 5.0 percent. The FDP missed out with just 4.1 percent.
In the 2021 German federal election, the Social Democratic Party won all 10 constituencies across the state.
There is a concern the election results will hurt climate action as it already happened in the 2024 Thuringian state election and 2024 Saxony state election, in which the Green Party suffered heavy loss, while parties opposing or less encouraging climate action increased their power. According to Infratest dimap: "The campaigns in both former communist states were mainly dominated by migration, social issues and weapons exports to Ukraine — just 4% to 7% of voters said climate protection was their primary concern." Polls show that in Brandenburg the results can be not much different.[3]
