The SPD around Prime Minister Malu Dreyer won the state election in Rhineland-Palatinate more clearly than expected.

The CDU with top candidate Christian Baldauf, on the other hand, received the worst result to date and did not manage to regain power in Mainz even after 30 years.

The traffic light coalition, which has ruled the country since 2016, could continue with this.

Data from Infratest Dimap show that election winner Dreyer with her SPD was able to convince 19,000 voters who still voted for the CDU in 2016 and 4,000 former AfD voters.

At the same time, the Social Democrats lost 8,000 voters to the Greens and 4,000 each to the FDP and other parties.

31,000 people who voted for the SPD in 2016 did not even vote on Sunday.

In total, this results in a minus of 24,000 votes.
