Germany: Ulrich Siegmund, from AfD, votes in decisive regional election

Euronews Portugal6 September 2026 at 13:27

Ulrich Siegmund, candidate of the AfD party, exercised his voting rights in Saxony-Anhalt during a regional election considered decisive. The AfD seeks to achieve a historic victory in this region of Germany.

The far-right party has been heavily investing in this election as part of its strategy to expand its political presence at the regional level. Siegmund, as a candidate, represents the party's leadership in this ballot.

Saxony-Anhalt has thus become an important political battleground for the AfD, which seeks to consolidate its power after significant gains in other German elections. The result of this vote could indicate the direction of the party's popularity in eastern Germany.
