> The far-right Alternative for Germany won well over 40% in Saxony-Anhalt's state election, delivering a devastating result for the governing CDU. AfD leaders called the outcome a mandate to form a government, but all other parties have so far ruled out coalition cooperation, leaving its path to power uncertain.
