That's inaccurate. Berlin's mayor is elected by Berlin's city parliament, because Berlin isn't just a city but also a federal state, and Die Linke only got ~25% of the votes. They certainly won this election (no other party got more votes and in contrast to the AfD they have realistic coalition options), but they'll need a three-party-coalition to elect a Linke mayor and I expect that this is going to be rather complicated.
