Far-right achieves historic victory in Saxony-Anhalt in Germany

DianaFM7 September 2026 at 15:33

Germany's Alternative (AfD) achieved a historic victory in Saxony-Anhalt regional elections, becoming for the first time since the end of World War II the most voted far-right party in a German state. With 43.8% of the votes, the AfD fell just three seats short of an absolute majority in the regional parliament, according to preliminary results released by public broadcasters ARD and ZDF.

The party significantly outperformed Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which achieved substantially lower results in this region.

This victory represents a significant milestone in German politics, marking the rise of the far-right to an unprecedented level in the country's post-war history, raising questions about Germany's future political landscape.

German chancellor says he is 'shocked' by defeat to far-right party

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he was "deeply shocked" by his party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), losing to the far-right in the Saxony-Anhalt regional elections. With about 44% of the votes, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) won the election, getting twice as many votes as the second-place finisher. Merz acknowledged the result as the most severe episode in years or decades for his party. Since it did not achieve an absolute majority, the AfD will need to form a coalition with smaller parties to govern. If this happens, it will be the first far-right government in a German state since the Nazi regime.
