GERMANY-POLITICS-VOTE
Top candidates pose after first exit polls were published on September 4, 2011 in Schwerin, capital of the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: (L-R) Helmut Holter (Die Linke), Silke Gajek (Greens), Erwin Sellering (SPD) and Lorenz Caffier (CDU). German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives suffered an embarrassing loss of support in elections in her home state, but they could still cling on to a share of power. According to exit polls released by TV channel ARD, Merkel's CDU mustered 24.0 percent of the vote. As expected, the centre-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) was the strongest party, with 37 percent of the vote. The third-strongest party was the far-left Linke, with 17 percent. The resurgent Greens scored 8.5 percent, ensuring their representation in the regional parliament for the first time. AFP PHOTO ANGELIKA WARMUTH GERMANY OUT
