The Christian Democratic Union ( CDU ) and its sister party the Christian Social Union ( CSU ) look set to return to power following the German federal election on Sunday .

The CDU-CSU won 28.6% of votes, with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) coming in second place with 20.8% and the center-left Social Democratic Party ( SPD ) in third with 16.4% of the vote.

Friedrich Merz will likely be installed as Germany 's next chancellor, taking over from the SPD 's Olaf Scholz after his three -party coalition collapsed last year .

The CDU/CSU and the centre-left SPD are expected to form a two -party coalition.

The Left (Die Linke ) has signaled that it's actually in favor of reforming the debt brake rule.

Other economists noted that it is more likely than not that a new coalition government will reform it and modestly ease fiscal policy.
