Regional Elections Held in Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate State
Share:
Elections for the state parliament took place in Rhineland-Palatinate, a German federal state where the Social Democratic Party (SPD) has maintained control for 35 years. The SPD has held continuous power in this western German region since 1989, making it one of their longest-standing strongholds in German state politics. The election results will determine whether the Social Democrats can extend their decades-long dominance in the state or face a change in government.
