AfD far-right wins in Saxony-Anhalt but without absolute majority

RTP Notícias7 September 2026 at 05:30

The far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) won the legislative elections held on Sunday in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, one of the eastern German states.

With 97% of the votes counted, the AfD fell just three seats short of the desired absolute majority, thus failing to achieve the majority it sought in the regional parliament.

This result represents a significant victory for the far-right party, which has been gaining ground in the eastern German states in recent elections.

Saxony-Anhalt thus becomes another federal state where the AfD obtained high results, reflecting the party's growth trend in the German political landscape.
