| Description | BERLIN — Voters in Germany's most populous state strengthened a center-left regional government which Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives sought to portray as irresponsibly spendthrift, and inflicted an embarrassingly heavy defeat Sunday on the German leader's party, projections showed.
The center-left Social Democrats and Greens – Germany's main opposition parties – won combined support of about 51 percent in the election in North Rhine-Westphalia state, according to ARD television based on exit polls and early counting.
That would be enough to give them a majority in the state legislature, which they narrowly missed in the last regional election two years ago. |
