Scholz to seek vote of confidence on December 16 ahead of early elections in Germany

triblive.com —

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will request a vote of confidence on December 16. This move follows the collapse of his three-party coalition government and sets the stage for an early parliamentary election in February. Previously, Scholz aimed for a vote of confidence on January 15, with elections potentially in March. The center-right opposition pushed for a quicker process, leading to the new timeline agreed upon by party leaders. The changes come as Germany faces economic challenges, with predictions of stagnation or contraction this year. The regular election was originally scheduled for September 2025.
