Chancellor will change in Germany after 16 years:Big blow to Angela Merkel's party, Left SPD leading with 26% vote share

 The Social Democratic Party (SPD) emerged as the single largest party in Germany's parliamentary election on Sunday. This is a leftist party. The SPD has got 25.7% of the votes. It is followed by CDU/CSU party with 24.1% vote share. The Green Party is at number three with 14.8% of the vote. However, it may take some time to elect the chancellor. After the results were out, the SPD called it a major victory over Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party. Chancellor Angela Merkel, who was in power in Germany for 16 years, is going away. Merkel made it clear before the election that she is not in the race for chancellor this time.

How Chancellor is elected
Like our country, Germany also has democracy and parliamentary system, but the way of choosing a chancellor is different. It is not necessary to announce the name of the prime ministerial candidate before the election in India. All parties in Germany are required to name the chancellor's candidate. The election is fought in its name and face. If his party or coalition wins the election, he has to garner a majority for himself in the Bundestag (the lower house of parliament).

How the government is formed
If any party or coalition gets majority then there is no problem. Imagine that if this is not the case, then even after the elections, a government can be formed on the lines of our country with coalition or support. A common program is decided. It is necessary to inform the Parliament about this. Parliament meets within 30 days after the election.

Does a party get a majority easily
usually not. Indeed, Germany has had a history and dominance of coalition governments. Therefore, no one party dominates. Merkel was also chancellor of the Coalition Government. Common minimum programs are made on the lines of our country before or after elections. After that the government is formed.

Is it easy to form a government and choose a chancellor
? It is obvious that if every party comes out with its chancellor face, then after the election, the coalition would also like to make him a chancellor. This is bound to be a conflict. However, if there is a pre-poll alliance, the chancellor is decided in advance. But, if there is a coalition after the election, then the coalition partners sit under mature democracy. Decide who will become the minister in the government and who will be the chancellor. But the final seal on the name of the Chancellor is given by the Bundestag i.e. Parliament. The same happens in the case of every minister.

What happens if the chancellor does not get a majority, the
matter gets stuck here. The second round of voting for the chancellor takes place in Parliament. In this, the name of another candidate can also be proposed. It needs to get the support of one-fourth of the total votes of Parliament. This should happen within 14 days after the election. If someone gets majority then it is fine, otherwise the President has the right to appoint someone as chancellor within 7 days. If there is a dispute, the President can also order a full election to be held afresh in 60 days.

Which party or coalition is expected to form the government, the
contest seems to be thorny. Several pre-poll surveys were conducted. In this, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) looks a little ahead. Merkel's party CDU and ally CSU are also not far away. The third place can go to the Green Party. It seems almost certain that only a coalition government will be formed.

How many votes are cast Voters have
only one ballot paper, but two votes have to be cast. First- District representative or MP. It represents about 2.5 lakh people. Second- party candidate. 299 members become MPs, the rest are party representatives.
