BREAKING: 🇩🇪 For the first time since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the communists are on the verge of retaking Berlin

Decades after the fall of the Wall, the Left party (Die Linke)—which considers itself the direct successor and has inherited the personnel, assets, and part of the history of the former ruling party of the GDR—has taken the top spot in the capital.

Latest projections after polls closed (around 21:25 local time):

• Die Linke: 25.3%
• CDU: 19.0%
• AfD: 16.3%
• Greens: 14.4%
• SPD: 12.1%
• BSW: 4.8%
• FDP: 2.5%
