The Union is currently in a tight race to win the most seats in the 2025 German election. With a complex landscape of parties and legislation affecting representation, a party's viability hinges on achieving at least 5% of the vote to secure a seat. The CSU, a regional party tied to the Union, faces uncertainty due to its opposition to the reduced seat barrier and ongoing lawsuit. The outcome will be determined by the final tally of seats won by each party, including any resulting from overhang or balancing mandates, as reflected in official results. A consensus-based resolution will also consider credible reporting, with ambiguity resolved through the German government's official results.
