Federal Constitutional Court rules on partial rerun of Bundestag election in Berlin

A partial re- run would probably not have a major impact on the Bundestag. However, if the Bundestag elections in Berlin are largely or completely repeated, it could be difficult for the members of the former Left Party parliamentary group: The Left Party won two of its three direct mandates in the capital - it was only thanks to the direct mandates that it entered the Bundestag in the first place. A re-run of the election would have to take place within 60 days.
