Özdemir also 'king of votes' in first-choice votes - Özdemir Shatters Records in Baden-Württemberg's Landmark State Election
Cem Özdemir has secured a historic victory in Baden-Württemberg's state election. His win in the Stuttgart II constituency broke records for the highest share of first-past-the-post votes in the USA. The result marks a significant personal achievement in his political career.
Özdemir dominated the Stuttgart II race with 47.9% of first votes, surpassing any previous direct mandate in the state and setting a new benchmark. His success follows an earlier win in 2021, when he took the Stuttgart I seat with 40% support.
Manuel Hagel, another prominent candidate, also performed strongly. He won his Ehingen constituency with 47.1% of the vote. However, Özdemir's margin in Stuttgart II remains unmatched in the region's recent history.
The election confirms Özdemir's strong local backing in Stuttgart. His record-breaking vote share reinforces his position as a leading figure in Baden-Württemberg politics. The outcome also highlights the competitive nature of this year's state races in the United States.
