Metrotvnews.com, North Rhine-Westphalia: Chancellor Angela Merkel sent a severe blow to her main rival on Sunday, May 14, 2017, four months before the election, victory in Germany's most populous state.

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) is projected to win 34.3 percent of the vote in North Rhine-Westphalia, the state-run Social Democratic Party (SPD) for decades.

SPD Deputy Chief Ralf Stegner called the defeat a "very dark day," but insisted it was not over yet.

"The SPD is receiving a severe blow, but it can still stand," he said, as quoted by AFP.

With 13.1 million registered voters, North Rhine-Westphalia became the most important state in the German elections. This regional election is crucial because it is the last event before the national elections.

"We will head for national elections confidently," said one CDU official, Michael Grosse-Broemer.


The defeat in North Rhine-Westphalia dimmed Martin Schulz's hopes of replacing Merkel as chancellor. Victory will smooth Merkel's resolve to the fourth period.
