The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is positioned to secure significant results in regional state elections in eastern Germany, raising the prospect of the party seeking to lead or participate in a state government. High polling figures in states such as Thuringia and Saxony reflect substantial voter support, marking a shift in the regional political landscape. However, all mainstream German political parties maintain a strict policy against entering into governing coalitions with the AfD, complicating the party’s path toward forming an executive administration.
- Recent polling indicates strong electoral support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in upcoming eastern German state elections.
- A first-place finish would mark an unprecedented milestone for a right-wing populist party in post-war German history.
- Mainstream political parties continue to uphold a cordon sanitaire, officially refusing to form coalition partnerships with the AfD.
- Strong AfD results are expected to complicate government formation and influence broader national political dynamics in Germany.

They're quickly learning the "Oh SCARY the far-right!" rhetoric no longer works, voters just yawn. That's what happens when you cry wolf too many times.
Well maybe the more you hate something the more it actually grows? 🤨
The biggest mistake after WWII, uniting the two German countries. The result is actually what we see.😂
If history has taught us anything is to never trust the Germans.
So much for the demoCRAZY😂
AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) is the clear winner in Germany's state of Sacshen-Anhalt on this day of 06.09.2026. Next time you in France 24 talks about India and Modi's BJP Bharatiya Janata Party do not call it "Hindu Nationalist Party" …."Nationalist" in AfD 's Germany has a different meaning than in India!!!! AfD is surely more "nationalist"…..???
Far right is going to win throughout Europe. Look at the mess going on in the EU.
Gut gemacht!
Only AfD can save germany…at least what is left of it
the left cannot speak to real working people … people who care about the country they live in ..can the left learn ??? … never
The media creating a seemingly self fulfilling prophecy…
The AFD would never even come close to winning with a majority if the people voting were being listened to by the current political class. They really only have themselves to blame. People don't vote out governments because they have policies that are working and improving peoples lives. They vote them out because of the exact opposite.
Maybe Germany can still be saved and it gives hope to France too.
well they are right wing but they are not nazi, thats just somthing the left say to scare people from voting on them. the left seems to not understand that if someone win, it is democracy working. instead the left act like its a proof that its not working.
Why do you keep maligning them as the "Far Rigght AFD" instead of just "The AFD". It is Merz who wants to rearm Germany and go to War with Russia not the AFD.
“Far right” 😂
It's not "far-right" its called normal
Good morning Germany, how'd you sleep?
Congratulations Germany 🇩🇪🇩🇪COMMON SENSE 👏👏👏🇩🇪🇨🇦
Because it would be anti-Semitic and anti-Feminist.
Thank god the far left is still alive in France! ❤️ ☪️
