Wahlparty
On September 20, our Wahlparty — an election night event — took place in Berlin, organized together with "Kanzler und Berghain."

On Sunday evening, more than 200 guests and participants gathered at FORUM Factory to follow the first projections and results of the elections to the Berlin House of Representatives and the district assemblies together. The Wahlparty became a place where Berliners, representatives of civic initiatives, and people directly involved in the city's political life came together in one shared space.

Throughout the evening, we followed the incoming results, discussed the unfolding events, and listened to commentary and analysis from Alex Yusupov and Dima Vachedin, hosts of the "Kanzler und Berghain" podcast. On stage, they spoke with invited guests — representatives of Berlin society and politicians representing their parties.

The livestream brought the first election results, along with commentary and assessments, while representatives of political parties shared their impressions of the campaign that had just ended, talked about their experiences on the campaign trail, and spoke about their expectations for the results.

Following last year's Wahlparty for the federal election, this was the second such event we have held in Berlin. We're glad that the Wahlparty is gradually becoming our tradition. Once again, it was an open urban space bringing together people interested in how the city's political life works and how Berlin is changing. Guests mingled freely, exchanged opinions, and shared in an event important to the city — talking with representatives of political parties and meeting new people interested in politics.

Thank you to everyone who came and spent this evening with us! Thanks to you, the Wahlparty is becoming more than just an election-night event — it's becoming part of Berlin's social and political life, a place for dialogue and new connections.
