Unlike in Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt is unlikely to face any time of political instability. The SPD regional association has decided to start coalition negotiations with the FDP and CDU.
The black-red-yellow coalition negotiations in Saxony-Anhalt can begin at the beginning of next week: on Friday evening, a majority of an SPD state party conference voted in favor of the state board’s proposal to enter into coalition negotiations with the CDU and FDP.
The other two parties had already decided to participate in the negotiations in their respective state boards on Thursday. The last time there was a coalition of CDU, SPD and FDP in Germany was in 1959.
In the state elections on June 6, the SPD achieved the worst result in its history in Saxony-Anhalt with just 8.4 percent of the vote. Some Social Democrats had asked to go into the opposition because of the poor result. They had shown themselves skeptical that the SPD could push through social democratic demands alongside the CDU and FDP.
The formation of a government in Saxony-Anhalt is to be completed by September 16 with the renewed election of Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU).
