Brandenburg Left Party Leader: Great Demand for Left-Wing Politics - The Left Party stages a federal revival despite Brandenburg’s 2024 election defeat
The Left Party (Die Linke) has made a comeback in federal politics, despite recent setbacks in the state elections. In Brandenburg, the party lost its government role in 2024 after being expelled from the state parliament. Yet, in the 2025 federal election projections, its support has grown to 8.8%.
The shift in Brandenburg came after the 2024 state election. The Left Party was removed from power, leaving a coalition of the SPD, FDP, and Greens to take over. The new state parliament saw the SPD hold 32 seats, AfD with 30, BSW with 14, and the CDU with 12—while the Left Party no longer had a governing presence.
The Left Party's federal rise contrasts with its decline in Brandenburg. With 8.8% in national projections, it appears to be regaining relevance on economic and social issues. Meanwhile, its absence from Brandenburg's government marks a significant change in the state's political landscape.
