Outcome reported
- The AfD won a strong result in Saxony-Anhalt and celebrated at a party event on Sunday evening.
- Only two of the party’s 39 elected lawmakers in the new Magdeburg state parliament are women.
At the AfD’s election-night party in Saxony-Anhalt, the dominant image was men in suits with fade haircuts, shaved at the sides and styled on top. The same look may soon define the party’s benches in the new state parliament in Magdeburg.
Only two women are among the 39 AfD lawmakers elected in Saxony-Anhalt. The figure is presented as another low point for a party that formally supports equality, while its internal ideal appears to point in a different direction.
