The SPD faced a significant defeat in the Rhineland-Palatinate state election, losing its long-standing leadership to the Christian Democrats. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius described the election results as 'very poor' but emphasized the need to avoid a personnel debate within the party. He stated that the focus should remain on government work rather than internal changes. Additionally, the SPD suffered another setback with the Greens winning the mayoral election in Munich, defeating the incumbent Dieter Reiter.
