Second round of voting will not happen today
Merz failed to get elected as chancellor in first round in the Bundestag.
He needed 316 votes, he received 310. The coalition between CDU/CSU and SPD have 328 votes. That means 18 MPs did not vote for him.
There will still be a 2nd (abs. maj.) and 3rd round (rel. maj.), this is a very bad start.
