Outcome reported
- The AfD won more than 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt, its strongest result in a German state election since World War II.
- The party emerged as the largest force, but mainstream parties could still prevent it from forming a government.
Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, has emerged as the largest party in the Saxony-Anhalt state election after winning more than 44% of the vote.
The result marks the party’s strongest performance in any German state election since World War II. It represents a major breakthrough for the anti-immigration party in a state-level contest.
Despite the landslide, the AfD’s route to governing remains uncertain. Mainstream parties continue to oppose cooperation with the party, leaving the election result without a guaranteed path to power.
