Wagenknechts BSW fails: New count remains a dream!
Karlsruhe, Deutschland - On June 3, 2025, the Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) suffered a bitter defeat after the Federal Constitutional Court rejected its complaint with the new counting of the votes in the Bundestag election. The BSW failed in the elections in February in the important five percent hurdle, since only 4.981 percent of the voters voted for the party, which means only 0.19 percent to the required threshold. According to Tagesschau , the party has asked for a new count for weeks, but there is no one in the Bundestag who is responsible for the objection. The committee for election testing, immunity and rules of procedure refers to the non -constituted election examination board.
Macit Karaahmetoglu, chairman of the committee mentioned, said that the election examination board had to be elected by the plenary. Co-party chairwoman Amira Mohamed-Ali has urged the Bundestag to quickly constitute this committee. If the committee does not decide promptly, the BSW could submit an election examination complaint to the Federal Constitutional Court.
Litigation and constitutional issues
The Federal Constitutional Court declared the BSW organ systems inadmissible, since the reason for a violation of the right to equal opportunities was insufficient. This reports Zeit . Co-boss Amira Mohamed-Ali expressed constitutional concerns about the outcome of the election and emphasized the need for protest and new counting regulation, especially in the event of scarce results. The party doubts the accuracy of the election result and refers to possible irregularities in the distribution of voting.
In the past, all of the BSW's urgent proposals were rejected for a new count before the official final result was found, whereby the court referred to the usual election examination procedure in the Bundestag. It is meaningful that a subsequent move-in of the BSW into the Bundestag could endanger the majority of the black and red coalition.
outlook and internal developments
The future procedure of the BSW remains uncertain. There is no time frame for the consultations on the election examination board, and it is currently unclear whether MPs are interested in a new count in the Bundestag. Sahra Wagenknecht announced that he would like to make an appeal in Karlsruhe again, should the internal procedures in the Bundestag not lead to a satisfactory decision. The legislation does not provide for any deadline for such decisions, which the situation continues to complicate.
It is worth noting that Amira Mohamed-Ali and her party also demand that only the parties, who definitely did not have the support of five percent of the voters, should be excluded from the Bundestag. If an objection to the committee is actually taken, both persons entitled to vote would have been entitled to appeal to the Federal Constitutional Court within two months, as explained on the website of the| Details | |
