The Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) party has narrowly missed entering the Bundestag, falling short of the 5% threshold by just 13,435 votes.
Allegations of vote misallocation have emerged, with claims that BSW votes were mistakenly attributed to the Bündnis Deutschland (BD) party in several districts.
Recounts and verifications are underway in regions like Delmenhorst and North Rhine-Westphalia, where discrepancies have been identified.
In one instance, 48 votes initially recorded for BD were reassigned to BSW.
The party has requested thorough reviews across multiple states, citing concerns over potential errors.
While minor corrections are common, the scale of adjustments needed to change the election outcome remains uncertain.
