Berlin (CNN)The left-leaning Social Democratic Party (SPD) is narrowly ahead in exit polls published after voting ends in Germany’s federal election, a Forschungsgruppe Wahlen exit poll for CNN-affiliated N-TV shows, but closely followed. The final result of the contest that was contested remains uncertain.
According to exit polls, the SPD had 26% of the vote, with outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel’s centre-right Christian Democratic Union holding 24%, followed by the Greens at 14.5%, the FDP 12% and the AFD 10. %.
