The chamber of Berlin’s House of Representatives

A recount in one Berlin constituency has changed which party receives a direct seat, according to tagesschau.

The broadcaster reports that the seat goes to the AfD, reversing the earlier understanding that it belonged to the CDU.

According to tagesschau, the revised result means Berlin’s House of Representatives will be five seats smaller than previously anticipated. The supplied excerpt does not identify the constituency or give the revised total number of seats.
