Friedrich Merz says that he will work with the SPD to change the election laws after 23 constituency winners are unable to take a seat. 18 of those 23 are from the CDU/CSU.
The rule was put in place after the last election in response to a Bundestag that was larger than at any point since reunification, with 137 overhang and balance seats needed to ensure proportionality. If yesterday's election had been contested under the old system, 53 overhang and balance seats would have been required.

23 candidates who won the most first-votes in their constituencies will not be able to take their seats, because there are not enough second-votes for their respective parties in their respective states.

Here are the final seat figures, with all 299 constituencies declared.
The Grand Coalition between the CDU/CSU and SPD looks like the only credible coalition option if the anti-AfD "firewall" is to be maintained.

The AfD has topped the poll in all five states in the former East Germany.
But they've not managed to finish on top in any former West German state, while in Berlin, they're all the way back in fifth place.

Three constituencies declared now (all in Bavaria), and the swings we're seeing are not a million miles out from the initial exit poll.
But I'll still be very interested in how this varies state by state, and in particular between the old West Germany vs East Germany.

Olaf Scholz has called this exit poll a "bitter election result" for the SPD, congratulating Friedrich Merz on his election win.
No mention of going into opposition; the SPD is likely to continue to be in the German government, albeit as the junior party.

I'm struggling to find a state-by-state breakdown of the exit poll, but if this swing is uniform, then the AfD will likely have finished top of the poll in all five states of the former East Germany.

If this exit poll is correct, then a two-party grand coalition between the CDU/CSU and SPD is possible.
However, there are two parties that are just under that 5% mark, according to the exit poll. If either of them finish above 5%, then that two-party coalition becomes impossible, and a third party will be needed to form government.
It's going to be some hours yet until we know for sure what coalition options are on the table.
