The CDU's failure in the state elections was a "dramatic and unprecedented result," said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. "We failed to overcome the five percent threshold, and an entire faction is losing representation in the state parliament. This is a heavy blow, the consequences of which we will feel for a long time. We will have a long time to discuss this situation," he said during a press conference. Merz stated that the CDU lacked "only a thousand votes" to enter the state parliament. He also added that federal policy and himself played a significant role in the elections. On September 20, the Alternative for Germany won the elections in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with 38.2% of the vote, significantly ahead of Chancellor Friedrich Merz's CDU. The Christian Democratic Union received 4.9% of the vote and, for the first time in its history, failed to enter the state parliament. More IZ RU news in MAX

What is this event about?
Parliamentary elections to elect the Landtag of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern are scheduled to take place on September 20, 2026.
This market will resolve to “Over” if CDU wins at least 10% of all valid second votes (Zweitstimme) in the specified election.
This market will resolve to “Under” if CDU wins less than 10% of all valid second votes (Zweitstimme) in the specified election.
This market will resolve solely based on the percentage of valid second votes (Zweitstimme) won by the specified party, defined as the number of valid second votes won by the specified party divided by the total number of valid second votes in the specified election.
Valid vote percentages will be counted only where the State Returning Officer of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Landeswahlleiter Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) attributes them to the aforementioned party. Vote percentages attributed to other parties or electoral designations will not count, regardless of electoral cooperation, endorsements, coalition agreements, or subsequent parliamentary-group arrangements. If the specified party formally merges into a successor party before the election and does not contest separately, the valid vote percentage of the successor party will count towards resolution.
If the results of this election are not definitively known by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve 50-50.
This market will resolve based on the results of this election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as published on the official Mecklenburg-Vorpommern elections page of the Landesamt für innere Verwaltung (www.laiv-mv.de/Wahlen/Landtagswahlen/2026/).
