BERLIN, Germany — Barbel Bas, the president of the Bundestag, said on Monday that most of the German Federal Parliament (Bundestag) voted against Chancellor Olaf Scholz's cabinet, opening the door for early elections in February.
Of the 717 lawmakers who cast ballots, 394 opposed Scholz's bid
for chancellor, 207 voted in favor of him, and 116 refused to vote. He
slumped very short of the 367 majority required to win. The elections for
a new parliament will take place on February 23, 2025.
Early in November, Scholz's coalition government fell apart after he dismissed Christian Lindner, the head of the Free Democratic Party and Finance Minister, for refusing to approve new budget projections for 2025 and increased aid for Ukraine.
