Well... no, her party lost quite a bit presumably because the right end of their voter spectrum punished them for their refugee policy. They remain the strongest force with a meager 33%, so she gets another term if she can convince either the social democrats or jointly the neoliberals+green party to form a coalition. The social democrats very quickly announced to leave government, which means that the green party and neoliberals now need to see whether they have it in them to form a joint government. They will because none of.them wants to risk a new vote.
