German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has officially dissolved the Bundestag and called for early elections on February 23, 2025, following the passage of a vote of no confidence against Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
In a statement delivered at a press conference in Berlin, Steinmeier confirmed the decision, explaining that after consulting with party leaders, he concluded that no government—current or new—could secure a majority in the existing parliament.
The move sets the stage for fresh elections and potential political realignment in Germany.
The dissolution of parliament comes after growing political instability, with Scholz's government facing mounting pressure from opposition parties and internal divisions.
The no-confidence vote, which resulted in a significant loss of support for Scholz's leadership, marked a pivotal moment in German politics.
