What we don't know
Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.
- Which parties will successfully negotiate a coalition to form a government and potentially exclude the AfD.
- The final certified seat distribution in the state parliament.
- Whether Friedrich Merz’s scheduled response occurred and what he actually said.
- Whether the AfD explicitly called for formal coalition talks, rather than more generally demanding that other parties work with it.
- Whether any party agreed to negotiate with the AfD.
- Whether “just short of an absolute majority” refers to votes or projected seats.
