Election in Germany: AfD could become first far-right party to govern a state in the country since 1945

oglobo6 September 2026 at 04:00

Voters in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, in eastern Germany, could give victory this Sunday to a far-right party. If Alternative for Germany (AfD) wins an absolute majority of seats, it will make history as the first far-right party to govern a German state since 1945.

The federal government's commissioner for the eastern part of the country, Elisabeth Kaiser, explained that this reality is explained by persistent disparities between the eastern and western parts of Germany, almost 40 years after the country's reunification.

Kaiser, who is a native of Thuringia and holds the position of State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Finance, stated that the political identity of the former communist regions continues to be a distinctive factor in relation to the rest of the country.
