German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrat Party narrowly won an election in the eastern
00:06
German state of Brandenburg.
00:08
Three weeks after the far-right Alternative for Germany made gains in two other East German
00:12
states, the SPD came out on top.
00:15
Results published by the state electoral administration say the SPD won 30.9%, while the AfD came
00:21
second with 29.2%.
00:24
It is an important victory for me, it's an important victory for my party and it's an
00:30
important victory for the state of Brandenburg because it's one of the biggest goals for
00:40
us in the beginning of our campaign was to provide stability.
00:49
The SPD's victory brought a reprieve to Scholz, whose three-party governing coalition has
00:53
fared poorly in elections so far this year.
00:57
Scholz has expressed his desire to be his party's candidate for Chancellor in next year's
01:01
federal election, with this weekend's vote also being watched for what it might signal
01:06
about his political future.
