Düsseldorf cast their votes - three residents of Düsseldorf now hold seats in the German federal parliament (Bundestag)

In the recent elections held in Düsseldorf, Germany, the atmosphere at the town hall was tense as the results started to roll in. On election night, representatives from the CDU, SPD, FDP, and The Left were present, while other parties chose to hold their celebrations at external locations.

Among the parties that saw significant changes is the Young Union, led by Johannes Winkel. Winkel, the chairman of the Young Union, secured a victory in the Düsseldorf II constituency, ensuring his place in the German Bundestag. He will be joined by Thomas Jarzombek (CDU) and Sara Nanni, both first-time representatives.

The preliminary official results for second votes in Dusseldorf showed a tight race among the major parties. The CDU secured 28.00% of the vote, followed closely by the SPD with 17.96%, the Greens with 17.73%, AfD with 11.30%, The Left with 10.53%, FDP with 6.75%, BSW with 4.15%, and Other with 3.59%.

The results of the Greens and their list position in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) are not yet officially confirmed. For the Greens, Anas Al-Qura'an ran in the northern part of Düsseldorf and Sara Nanni in the southern part. Their results, along with the Greens' list position in NRW, secure another term in Berlin for both.

Voter turnout was high, with 82.02% overall. The north of Dusseldorf saw a turnout of 83.36%, while the south recorded 80.43%. A total of 339,004 votes were counted across 305 polling stations.

The FDP faced downcast faces as fears were confirmed, with initial projections showing the party at 4.9%. Dr. Zanda Martens and Adis Selimi, both from the SPD, knew it would be a tough night for their party. Martens, the chairperson of Dusseldorf SPD, will focus on the local election campaign, while Selimi wants to continue playing a role in Dusseldorf SPD.

Andreas Hartnigk (CDU) and Andreas Rimkus (SPD), who did not run for the Bundestag, can now enjoy their time. Meanwhile, The Left achieved a very good result in the Dusseldorf elections, with Julia Marmulla celebrating with her party colleagues.

No new information about the preliminary official results for second votes, voter turnout, polling stations, or election helpers was provided in this update. The results in the north and south of Dusseldorf are subject to official confirmation.

In the Dusseldorf elections, a total of 339,004 votes were counted. The Greens were represented by Clara Gerlach (Düsseldorf I) and Felix Banaszak (Düsseldorf II). Gerlach, a Green politician and mayor, and Banaszak, a prominent Green politician in the region, will continue to make their mark in German politics.

As the dust settles on the Düsseldorf elections, the focus now shifts to the newly elected representatives and the work ahead in the German Bundestag.
