Scholz’s Social Democrats risk upset at Berlin vote rerun

GERMAN Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats face the prospect of an embarrassing loss today during the rerun of a chaotic 2021 regional election in Berlin.

The German capital, one of the country’s 16 federal states, has been ordered by the courts to return to the ballot boxes as the last vote on September 26, 2021, failed to meet basic democratic standards.
