Friedrich Merz has secured the chancellorship of Germany in a dramatic second-round vote, overcoming a shocking first-round defeat earlier in the day. With 325 votes in his favor, Merz surpassed the required 316 majority, averting a constitutional crisis. His unexpected first-round loss, which marked the first time in postwar history a chancellor candidate failed to win, had sent shockwaves through German politics. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has expressed outrage at Merz’s victory, demanding his resignation and calling for fresh elections.

In a stunning and unprecedented setback, Germany's conservative leader Friedrich Merz has failed to secure the majority needed to become chancellor in the first round of parliamentary voting — missing by just six votes. The defeat marks the first time since World War II that a chancellor candidate has fallen short on the initial ballot. As political uncertainty grips Berlin, coalition talks intensify and fresh elections loom as a possibility. The failed bid comes amid economic stagnation, the far-right AfD’s rise, and global pressure on Germany’s next leader.

In a recent interview, President Donald Trump revealed that European Union leaders have repeatedly asked him to engage with Russian President Vladimir Putin, citing the Kremlin's lack of response to their calls. Trump emphasized his role as a mediator, stating, "Do you know that the European Union leaders have asked me to call Putin so many times? Because he doesn’t return their phone calls." This development highlights the growing frustration among European leaders as they seek a resolution to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
