The Left party (Die Linke) was able to win the Berlin elections thanks to Muslim migrants, and a woman of Turkish origin may become the city's mayor.

In the Berlin House of Representatives elections, the Left party received 51% of the votes from Muslim voters, which is twice their overall result of 25.7%.

Support for the party among Muslims increased by 36 percentage points, exceeding the figures for other population groups.

Experts attribute this success to the Left party's migration policy: the party advocates for expanding naturalization and accelerating the acquisition of citizenship.

Political scientist Hermann Binkert from INSA and CDU representative Günter Krings believe that the Left party is forming a new base of supporters among migrants, and that their result in the elections would have been impossible without the support of Muslims.
