BERLIN:  German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has dissolved parliament and set early elections for February 23 after the Bundestag passed a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

TASS has compiled the main information about the ongoing political crisis.

Collapse of ruling coalition

Germany faces an acute crisis after the ruling coalition (SPD, Greens, and FDP) clashed on budgetary and economic policies, including aid to Kiev and easing the "debt brake" rule.

On November 6, Scholz fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner, triggering the coalition's collapse.

Vote of no confidence against Scholz

On December 11, Scholz formally requested a vote of confidence, per Article 68 of the constitution.

After deliberation, the Bundestag debated the issue at an extraordinary session on December 16 but rejected Scholz's leadership.

Of the 717 deputies present, only 207 supported Scholz, while 394 opposed and 116 abstained.

Following the failed vote, Scholz advised Steinmeier to dissolve the Bundestag.

Dissolution of Bundestag, early elections

Steinmeier subsequently dissolved parliament and announced early elections for February 23.

The elections will lead to a new government and chancellor.
