Opinion polls ahead of the state election in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt indicate that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is competing closely with the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) for first place. The regional vote is regarded as a significant test of voter sentiment and party strength in eastern Germany. Despite the AfD’s position near the top of the polls, all other mainstream political parties have reaffirmed their refusal to enter into any governing coalition with the party, complicating potential paths to a legislative majority.
- Polling in Saxony-Anhalt shows the AfD running in a tight contest against the center-right CDU ahead of the state parliamentary election.
- The election serves as a critical barometer for regional political alignment and broader national trends in Germany.
- Mainstream political parties continue to uphold a cordon sanitaire, ruling out any coalition or formal cooperation with the AfD.
- Key campaign issues include economic conditions in eastern Germany, regional infrastructure, and public sentiment toward federal policies.

DW is not happy
Vote AFD!!
Strong deja vu feeling … except this time the failed painter sympathizers are friends with Russia. Correction – they were friends with Russia at the beginning the first time too … I guess everything checks out 😆
In a true democracy, we do not insult the opposing side with the baseless label "far-right" – that is what tyrants do and those who wish to retain power
Afd, let's go! 🇩🇪
I went to visit Magdeburg last year, and I didn't see a single native German there. Just saying!
Not far right, just right
People keep forgetting that we already had another right-wing party sitting in a state parliament and nothing came of it. We have 16 states and our laws and regulations are well intertwined to not allow for radicals to wreck havoc. They have never been able to actually get anything done so far and that wont change any time soon either. Just being against everything is simply not good enough in a democracy, which requires people to compromise. It is either freedom and compromise or no freedom and dictatorship/rule from above.
Germans are smart. I wonder how they can't think straight when it comes to extremism
If you don't look into the real failure of CDU, it will wilt with this Communist PR.
It's about time 🎉
Actually, 2 years ago AfD won the elections in Thüringen, but other parties made a coalition to govern the state.
Putin pays the AFD and the French Le Pen.
"We are about to enter a world of hurt"
So many stories concerning the ADF! Is there nothing else happening in Germany?
Let's make things clear first. What is "far right" and who has authority to assign it? 🙄
We stand for democracy the same way Putin or Xi Jinping do. You have right to vote as long as you vote the right way.
Definition of democracy that was articulated by wise ancient greeks.
Go AFD! Make Germany Great Again! Prost from the USA! Since when is common sense controversial?
Like Alabama voting republican…
Jail for corrupted DW.
