SPD remains unchallenged at Hamburg's election 2025!

On Sunday, March 2, 2025, the highly expected citizenship elections took place in Hamburg. Almost 1.3 million citizens were called for election to decide on the future of their city. Initial forecasts and projections suggested that the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) with its top candidate Peter Tschenscher would again take a clear victory.

The SPD was able to win 33.5 percent of the votes for itself, according to the first projections and thus claimed its first place compared to the last election. The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) followed with a significant increase and 19.5 percent, which made the party the second strongest force. The result of the left, which improved from 9.1 percent to 11.5 percent, was also remarkable. The Greens, on the other hand, had to accept a decline to 17.5 percent and thus achieved third place. The alternative for Germany (AfD) was also able to grow and came to 8.8 percent. In contrast, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the Citizens for Social Wende (BSW) failed with almost three percent of the citizenship.

The turnout was 67.0 percent until 7:00 p.m. Current projections at 7:06 p.m. showed the following distribution: The SPD reached 34.3 percent, while the CDU ranked 19.2 percent and the Greens were only slightly behind the CDU at 19.0 percent. The left came to 11.3 percent, while the AfD was able to achieve 7.2 percent. The new party Volt also increased with 3.0 percent. These numbers show that there could be an exciting race for power in the city.
