Greens and SPD remain in power in two German states

The German elections in the two states of Baden Würtemberg and Rhineland Palatinate will see the two current state premiers remain in power.

It was the worst results ever for the CDU in both states. In Baden Würtemberg the SPD registered an all-time low vote.

The two premiers, Malu Dreyer in Rehineland Palatinate and Winfried Kretshcmann in Baden Würtemberg  are relatively high profile charismatic people, who increased their vote.

In both elections the far-right AfD experienced significant losses.
