News Brief: The CDU leadership, led by state chief Hagel, has accepted the Green Party’s invitation to initiate exploratory coalition talks following the recent state elections.

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in Baden-Württemberg has confirmed its acceptance of the Green Party’s invitation to begin coalition negotiations. The exact start date for these discussions remains undetermined. In the state elections held on March 8, the Greens, led by their candidate Özdemir, narrowly secured the highest number of votes, surpassing the CDU. However, due to electoral regulations, both parties are tied in terms of seats in the state parliament, creating a stalemate. The Greens have already claimed the position of Minister-President based on their vote lead, while the CDU is engaged in internal debates regarding future power distribution. Both parties have been governing together since 2016. This report was broadcast on Deutschlandfunk on March 21, 2026.
