The far-right Alternative for Germany is leading Saxony-Anhalt’s state election with about 44.2% in current projections, potentially securing an outright majority in the 83-seat parliament. A victory would create Germany’s first far-right state government since World War II and could threaten support for Ukraine.
Exit polls show the Alternative for Germany securing a clear victory in Saxony-Anhalt’s state parliament election with 44% to 44.5% of the vote, its best-ever result in a German state. Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s CDU placed second with about 18.5%, its worst result in the region.
Germany’s far-right party is expected to win a regional election, but it is unclear whether it can form a government. Such an outcome could produce the country’s first far-right state government since World War II.
Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is celebrating after exit polls projected it would win more than 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt. The party called the result “historic”, but cannot know whether it can govern until it is clear which smaller parties pass the 5% threshold and enter the state parliament.
A far-right victory in a German state is expected to send shockwaves around the world.
Exit polls indicated Sunday that the Alternative for Germany party had opened a strong lead in a regional election. It remains unclear whether AfD can form Germany’s first far-right state government since the Second World War.
The far-right Alternative for Germany is leading in Saxony-Anhalt after polls closed, campaigning under the slogan “Everything is possible” and calling the result a seminal moment for the country. Ulrich Siegmund, who has been polling first for state leader, says he may have history within reach.
Supporters of Germany’s far-right AfD reacted after polls closed in the Saxony-Anhalt state election in Magdeburg. The party is projected to secure a record victory in the vote.
Exit polls put the anti-immigration, populist far-right AfD at about 44.4% in Saxony-Anhalt, well ahead of Friedrich Merz’s CDU, after record turnout. The party may lack an outright majority, while the AfD and mainstream parties have ruled out governing together, leaving its path to power uncertain.
Exit polls indicate that Germany’s far-right AfD has won a landslide victory in Saxony-Anhalt. If it succeeds in forming a government, it would be the first far-right party to lead a German state since World War II.
Early results indicated that Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany party was heading toward a landslide victory in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, with 44.5% of the vote on Sunday.
The far-right Alternative for Germany decisively won the Saxony-Anhalt state election amid rising public frustration with the political establishment. The party is expected to fall short of the outright majority needed to form a government.
Exit polls project Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) winning 44.5% in Saxony-Anhalt, well ahead of the conservative CDU on 18.5%. AfD leaders called the result historic, but whether they can govern will depend on which smaller parties clear the 5% threshold and how many seats the party secures.
Voting is taking place in Germany’s eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt in a closely watched election. Correspondent Nick Holdsworth says an AfD-led state government would be the first regional government headed by a far-right party since the end of World War II and the dark days of Nazism.
Exit polls indicate that the far-right Alternative for Germany won Saxony-Anhalt’s election with 44.5 percent, more than twice the CDU’s 18.5 percent. The result could make it the first far-right party to take power at state level in Germany since World War II, although its ability to form a government or secure an outright majority remains uncertain.
Voting has begun in Saxony-Anhalt, an eastern German state holding a closely watched election. Recent polls put the AfD just above 40%, ahead of Merz’s CDU at 23%. Journalist Shirli Stibon says the party’s priorities would include resetting the education system.
Led by its 35-year-old top candidate, Ulrich Siegmund, the AfD has remained above 40% in polls for months. It could win an outright majority if several smaller parties fail to pass Germany’s 5% threshold for entering parliament.
Voting has begun in Saxony-Anhalt, where a closely watched election could make the Alternative for Germany the first far-right party to lead a German state government since World War II. Sorbonne University German studies professor Hans Stark discusses why the party is so popular.

Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany is leading polls ahead of the Sept. 6 Saxony-Anhalt election, with working-class and young voters seen driving a possible unprecedented victory. An outright majority would make the AfD the first non-SPD or CDU/CSU party since World War II to win a German state alone and would symbolically break the political “firewall” against cooperation with it.
