So, abstentions and invalid & blank votes will not be included.

Do you happen to know if there will be polling booths, like at this year's SPD party convention where Nahles was elected? It does make a difference regarding the secrecy if you can make your choice without your neighbor looking at your ballot or not.

There were not.

Pardon?

[Lechasseur]

it's gonna be AKK on the first ballot.

Unfortunately I think you're right

Should Merkel remain in office till the end of this legislative period?

There will be partion walls between the places of the Delegates. The election is secret.

Exactly. I just wanted to write that. Each delegate gets a foldable table booth made of paperboard, as pictured below:

The election will start around 4:30 pm CET - > 10:30 EST.

I don't like the fact that Merkel is allowed to deliver her final speech before the vote.

She could use some remarks to influence the delegates in their voting behaviour.

Merkel should speak after the vote.

She is speaking right now.

1,600 international journalists are attending the convention.

She just mentioned AKK's ability to win elections and getting more than 40% of the vote...

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Over 10 minutes of applause and standing ovations for Mutti! 🙌🏻 👏🏻

[DavidB.]

At what time will the results come in?

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

AKK is holding her candidacy speech right now.

At what time will the results come in?

I guess at 5 pm.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

There's one certain word each of the three candidates used in their speeches: Milchkanne ("milk can"). What a hard dissing against their fellow party member Education Minister Anja Karliczek. 😝

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

At what time will the results come in?

The election has begun.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

At what time will the results come in?

The election has ended and the votes are being tallied.

I agree. AKK is toast - and unemployed as of now as she has no Bundestag or Landtag mandate and as she will lose her job as general secretary.

Do more than 2/3 of Spahn delegates go to Merz?

Almost definitely yes. I'd be very surprised if it doesn't happen.

Still AKK. Wtf.

[Jeppe]

Common sense prevails once again. Go AKK!

[mvd10]

I regret everything I said about Spahn. His voters were low energy cucks. I'll be looking forward to the inevitable AfD-Linke majorities in certain states. The Germans don't deserve Merz anyway.

Common sense prevails once again. Go AKK!
