Why is Germany holding early elections in February 2023?
Germany is holding early elections on Sunday, February 23 to elect 630 members of parliament because the previous government collapsed. The three-way coalition government led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz fell apart in November last year. This political crisis deepened when Scholz subsequently lost a vote of confidence in December, which formally triggered the need for early elections. German citizens will now head to the polls earlier than the regularly scheduled election cycle to determine a new parliamentary composition.
