Final results give Ms. Merkel's Christian Democrats 41.5 percent of the vote, finishing only five seats short of an absolute majority in the lower house.

She likely will have to seek a grand coalition with the Social Democrats, who won about 26 percent of the vote.

Ms. Merkel's preferred liberal partners, the Free Democrats, won only 4.8 percent of the vote, falling short of the 5 percent need to win seats in parliament.

"This is a super result," Ms. Merkel told cheering supporters. "We will do everything together in the next four years to make them successful years for Germany."德國總理默克爾的保守黨聯盟在星期天的議會選舉中獲勝，但以微小差距未能獲得絕對多數地位。

最終選舉結果顯示，默克爾所屬的基督教民主聯盟獲得41.5%的選票，距獲得議會下院多數地位僅差五個席位。

默克爾很可能不得不與社會民主黨結爲聯盟。社民黨獲得大約26%的選票。

默克爾更願意與持自由派立場的自由民主黨結盟，但該黨只獲得4.8%的選票，而取得議席的門檻是至少獲得5%的選票。

默克爾對歡呼的支持者說：“這是很棒的結果。我們將爲德國竭盡全力，在今後的四年裏取得成功。”
