"Wagenknecht's Personal Endeavor": Wagenknecht Vows Not to Fade Away Silently - "The cherished endeavor, 'Car Maid', doesn't succumb to obscurity"
In the lead-up to the election, Wagenknecht staked her own political fate on the party's entry into the Bundestag. "The election isn't just a test for the party, but for me too," she boldly stated.
During the federal election last year, the fledgling alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) garnered 4.972% of the votes. A mere 13,400 votes kept the party out of parliament. The BSW claims suspected irregularities or confusion with other parties in certain instances, making a request for a nationwide recount from the Federal Constitutional Court.
On Thursday, Wagenknecht stated with confidence that preliminary recounts had already garnered an additional 4,000 votes for the BSW. The gap to the five-percent hurdle is now a manageable 9,000 to 10,000 votes. Some election review boards, however, have allegedly brushed aside complaints from the BSW. Wagenknecht remains hopeful, seeing "a practical chance" that the BSW will still reach the five percent mark.
