The 2025 German Bundestag election has brought significant political shifts.

The FDP failed to meet the 5% threshold, securing only 4.4% of the vote, and will not return to the Bundestag.

This marks the end of Christian Lindner's leadership, as he announced his resignation from politics after nearly 25 years.

The party's loss was attributed to a decline in support from young voters and a shift of its base to other parties like the Union and AfD.

Meanwhile, the Left Party celebrated a surprising comeback, securing 8.7% of the vote and solidifying its position in the Bundestag.

The Union emerged as the strongest party, with Friedrich Merz aiming to form a government by Easter.

The election results signal a reshaping of Germany's political landscape.
