Far-right in talks to secure government in eastern Germany

SIC Notícias7 September 2026 at 13:14

The far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) won Sunday's state elections, obtaining 43.8% of the vote. This result allowed the AfD to elect 39 of the 83 deputies in the regional parliament of Magdeburg, the capital of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, in eastern Germany.

With this result, the AfD fell just three seats short of an absolute majority in the regional parliament, representing a significant milestone for the party. This electoral triumph strengthens the far-right's position in the region.

The AfD's victory comes in a context of the far-right party's continued growth in Germany, which has been gaining ground especially in the eastern states of the country. The party is currently in talks to secure the formation of a government in that region.
