Wagenknecht's party demanded that the court review the results of the Bundestag elections.

The Sarah Wagenknecht Union for Reason and Justice (SSV) party has appealed to the German Constitutional Court with a demand to review the results of the early elections to the lower house of parliament, the Bundestag. This was reported on March 11 by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) newspaper.

According to the representative of the party, the application was submitted on Tuesday, March 11. It is noted that new lawsuits may follow within a week.

According to the results of the February 23 elections, the CER received 4.972% of the vote. FAZ clarified that the founder of the party, Sarah Wagenknecht, told the newspaper about "several thousand votes" that were apparently mistakenly given to other parties or declared invalid.

"Respect for voters requires careful study and correction of possible mistakes," she added.
