The Federal election in Germany will be held tomorrow. Germany has a mixed-member proportional system somewhat akin to NZ’s.

Chancellor Angela Merkel is not running and leadership of the Christian Democratic Union has passed to Armin Laschet.

The only two parties that might lead government are the SPD and CDU/CSU. Either would have to form a coalition with minor parties
Polling seems to indicate this will be a close run election. The Social Democrats have their noses in front at present but neither outcome would be a surprise.
