Saxony-Anhalt’s September 6 state election could allow the far-right AfD to form a government alone, as it leads polls with more than 40%. The outcome hinges on whether the CDU, Left Party, SPD and smaller parties can clear Germany’s 5% threshold for parliamentary representation.

Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany could secure a historic victory in Sunday’s key election in Saxony-Anhalt. The party’s agenda has become more radical and draws inspiration from proposals by influential regional ideologist Hans-Thomas Tillschneider.
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which promises to roll back asylum rights, is poised to win a German state election for the first time. It leads polls in Saxony-Anhalt by a wide margin, with its candidate Ulrich Siegmund in contention to head the first far-right state government since World War II.
German voters could, for the first time since World War Two, give a far-right party an outright majority in a regional election. The focus is on the AfD’s drive in Saxony-Anhalt and its charismatic lead candidate, as the former East German state struggles with globalisation, declining industry and an ageing population.
The far-right Alternative for Germany is surging in eastern Saxony-Anhalt. It could form the state government after the upcoming regional election, becoming the first far-right party to wield state power in Germany since the Second World War and potentially seeking major changes to key parts of society.
Polls suggest the far-right Alternative für Deutschland could win Saxony-Anhalt’s election and potentially lead Germany’s first state government headed by the party. Migrants and minorities fear threats to their security and residency, with some considering whether to leave the state.
