Dietmar Woidke has been re-elected as the Minister-President of Brandenburg after a difficult first ballot where he secured only 43 votes. In the second vote, Woidke received 50 votes, surpassing the necessary majority. His leadership faces challenges due to the fragile coalition with the Alliance for Democracy (BSW) and potential dissent within his party, the SPD. Major concerns include managing Russia policy and domestic issues such as education and healthcare, as the coalition aims to navigate a complex political landscape in the region.
