Berlin: German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has dissolved the country’s parliament. The President has made this announcement in view of holding early elections. In such a situation, preparations have started for holding early elections on 23 February. He ordered the dissolution of the German Parliament today on Friday. After this, further legal proceedings have started. President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Friday ordered the dissolution of the Parliament and holding new elections on 23 February in view of the fall of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s ruling coalition.

Let us tell you that German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Friday ordered the dissolution of the Parliament and holding elections on 23 February in view of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition government losing the trust vote. Scholz lost the trust vote on 16 December and is now leading a minority government. Scholz’s three-party coalition government was plunged into crisis on November 6 when he sacked his finance minister amid a dispute over how to revive Germany’s stagnant economy.

Elections to be held within 60 days of parliament dissolution

The leaders of several major parties then agreed that parliamentary elections should be held on February 23, seven months earlier than originally planned. Since the post-World War II constitution does not allow the Bundestag (parliament) to dissolve itself, it was up to Steinmeier to decide whether to dissolve parliament and hold elections. He had 21 days to decide. After parliament is dissolved, elections in the country must be held within 60 days.
