AfD claims "clear mandate to govern" German state of Saxony-Anhalt

RTP Notícias6 September 2026 at 22:10

The Alternative for Germany (AfD), a far-right party, achieved an estimated result of 44% in the regional elections in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt, which was described as "historic" by the party's co-leader, Alice Weidel.

The AfD leader considered that this result represents "a clear mandate to govern" the state of Saxony-Anhalt, expressing satisfaction with the party's electoral performance.

The result places AfD in a significantly strong position in the region, although it is not immediately clear whether the party will have the capacity to form a government alone or will need coalition partners.
