Center-Left Social Democrats (SPD) candidates defeated their AFD opponents in the cities of Gelsencanne and Duisburg, while Chancellor Frederick Merz’s center-rights Christian Democrats (CDU) won in Hagan.
According to the results of the initial state, however, the AFD raised its share of votes in the councils and the district councils to about 14.5%, which placed it at 22.1%behind the SPD.
