BERLIN (Sputnik) - The conservative alliance saw a catastrophic decline in support in this Sunday’s federal election, their deputy faction leader in parliament said.

"You can’t gloss over this result. It is a catastrophe," Gitta Connemann told the t-online news website.

She argued that the once dominant German political force was on its way to lose the status of a national party and needed "renewal."

"Everything must be reviewed — structures, processes, member participation. There should also be personal consequences," Connemann said.

The latest vote estimates by the ZDF broadcaster point to a tie between the conservative union bloc and the Social Democrats, who are respectively at 24.5% and 26%.
