GERMANY ELECTION IN (NRW) NORTH RHINE WESTPHALIA HAS BEEN LIKELY TO AFFECT THE BALANCE OF POWER IN THE BUNDESTAG.

Despite successful and fraud free election in Germany's western part known as (NRW) North Rhine Westphalia that ended in a tight race between German's major political parties with a slight lead of the SPD over the ruling CDU, voters have expressed disappointment in the election that had been expected to give overwhelming majority to the coalition of the red and the green, or the SPD and the Green party over the ruling coalition of the black and the yellow, or the CDU and the FDP to change the balance of power in the Bundestag and eventually the re-election of the current Kanzlerin Angela Merkel that has been less likely to happen with these current results of the slight lead of the SPD and her party's overwhelming lead in other parts of Germany. However, the slight lead of the SPD 0.4 points over the CDU might obliged the ruling party to seek coalition with the Green party to secure the majority in the Bundestag.
