Scholz lost the vote of confidence in Germany, government fell
Berlin, December 16 (Hibya) - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, as expected, lost the vote of confidence, paving the way for early elections on February 23.
Of the 717 votes counted, 207 voted confidence in Scholz, 394 voted against, and 116 abstained. Scholz needed 367 votes of confidence to "win" the vote.
Federal Parliament President Bärbel Bas, using the nickname of the now-dissolved triple coalition, said: "We have reached the end of our daily agenda and the end of the traffic light coalition."
Scholz smiled at the results and shook hands with his deputy Robert Habeck.
The Chancellor will now go to Bellevue Palace in Berlin to ask President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to dissolve parliament and allow general elections to take place.
