The far-right Alternative for Germany is three seats short of power in Saxony-Anhalt, prompting its lead candidate, Ulrich Siegmund, to look for support beyond his own party.
Siegmund is seeking backing from politicians in other parties as he explores how the AfD could form a government. The effort comes after the party’s victory in the state.
