Red-Green-Purple Coalition Slightly Ahead Following 5678 Election
October 5678

The Dundorfian Bundestag (pictured) will be governed for four more years by a (weakened) Red-Green-Purple coalition.

Dunburg - The Decision Desk here at the Nordenhausen Allgemeine Zeitung is finally able to make a call when 82% of the polling stations are reporting: the incumbent governing coalition led by Federal Chancellor Lorena Oberlitz will win a majority in the Bundestag, but that majority will be very slim. The most recent projection puts the incumbent coalition on track to win between 317 and 321 seats in the Bundestag, when 316 are needed to form a Government, this would represent one of the slimmest mandates for an incumbent coalition in history.
Our projections says that the center-right and Hosian-democratic NDZP will come back on top over the DSDP, regaining ground after the poor performance that the Hosian-Democrats had back in '74; but other than that, there wasn't much movement among voters in these past four years: at most, our projections say that the electoral swings will be cointained between 0.5 and 1.5 percentage points. 

President Freiland-Weber announced that she will invite Wolfgang Prawius, a former Chancellor and current NDZP leader, and Lorena Oberlitz, the current Social-Democratic Chancellor, to "discuss the way ahead for the next Government". It is likely that Oberlitz will ask the President for a continuation for the current leftist government, but the NDZP, being the first party, might ask for itself the Chancellery. Some rumors from trusted sources have it that the NDZP is ready to let Ms. Oberlitz be named Chancellor but ask in return to put Mr. Prawius in Karlottenberg Schloss when the Presidential election is held next year.
