Saxony-Anhalt Election Could Reshape German Politics as AfD Surges
Polling at 41 percent, the party could govern alone or leave Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Christian Democrats dependent on the post-communist Left.
TL;DR
- Saxony-Anhalt is electing a new state legislature.
- The AfD is polling at 41 percent, 18 points ahead of the CDU.
- This result would nearly double the AfD's share from the 2021 state election.
- The CDU has led Saxony-Anhalt since 2002.
