The 2024 European Parliament election in Germany was held on 9 June 2024.^[1] It was the tenth parliamentary election since the first direct elections in 1979, and the first European Parliament election after Brexit.^[2][3]

The election saw the CDU/CSU slightly increase its vote share, while all three parties comprising the government — the SPD, the Greens and the FDP — earned fewer votes than five years ago, with the Greens in particular suffering especially high losses.^[4] Conversely, the far-right AfD surged in both votes and seats, finishing second.^[5]

There was a stark regional disparity: The AfD won at least a plurality in all but six districts in former East Germany: Potsdam and Potsdam-Mittelmark in Brandenburg, the cities of Erfurt, Jena and Weimar as well as traditionally Catholic Eichsfeld in Thuringia. The newly formed left-populist party Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance also attracted a significant number of voters, with its support also being highest in the former East German states.
