The German president dissolves parliament and announces the date of elections in February
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier announced on Friday that he has agreed to Chancellor Olaf Scholz's request to dissolve parliament and has set February 23 as the date for new elections.
Steinmeier was widely expected to stick to the date agreed in advance by Germany's Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the country's main opposition party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
The president's decision means Germans will go to the polls in February, a date pushed back significantly after the ruling coalition government fell, prompting Scholz to call an unsuccessful confidence vote.
The Bundestag's no-confidence vote against Scholz last Monday was only the sixth since 1949 in the country and is the third time a German government's electoral term has ended prematurely.
