> After its strongest-ever result in Saxony-Anhalt, the far-right AfD is seeking to form a government. It won more than 40% of the vote but lacks a parliamentary majority, while other parties have ruled out cooperation because the state branch is classified as confirmed far-right extremist. A minority government supported by other parties remains one possibility.
