The AfD’s landslide victory in Saxony-Anhalt could herald a future in which far-right forces govern alone in parts of Europe. Germany’s grand-coalition model and the centrist alliance supporting EU politics are beginning to crack.
The AfD’s historic victory in Saxony-Anhalt adds a new political risk to Germany’s fragile economic recovery. Fears are growing that political fragmentation in Berlin could delay reforms needed to sustain growth.
Ulrich Siegmund has been dubbed Germany’s “most dangerous man”. The AfD politician has just won an election in Saxony-Anhalt and could form the country’s first far-right state government since World War Two.
European politicians have expressed concern after the far-right Alternative for Germany secured a historic victory in the state election in eastern Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt. Ulrich Siegmund was the party’s top candidate for the regional vote.
The far-right Alternative for Germany has won a sweeping victory in a German state election. Analysts called the “extraordinary” result potentially the most consequential German state-election outcome of the postwar era, adding pressure on the federal government.
The far-right Alternative for Germany won Saxony-Anhalt’s regional election, according to preliminary results, and is expected to take 39 of 42 seats needed for a majority in the state parliament. Reactions ranged from congratulations by right-wing figures to warnings from French and other officials that rising nationalism and xenophobia threaten European unity.
Exit polls showed the far-right Alternative for Germany surged to first place in Sunday’s Saxony-Anhalt state election, bringing it within reach of state-level power for the first time since World War Two. The report examines who the AfD are and what their plans could mean for voters.
AfD co-chair Tino Chrupalla said the party would pressure Berlin to restore relations with Russia and change its sanctions policy after its decisive victory in Saxony-Anhalt’s state election. The AfD also plans talks with all parties to form a state government and expects Ulrich Siegmund to become minister-president.
The far-right Alternative for Germany won 43.8% in preliminary results in Saxony-Anhalt but is projected to hold 39 of the 83 seats, three short of a majority. It is seeking support from other parties or individual lawmakers to form a government, while most German parties continue to reject cooperation.

The Alternative for Germany won Saxony-Anhalt’s state election with 43.8%, its strongest result ever in a German state and roughly double its share from five years ago. Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s CDU placed second with 17.2%, its worst result there. The AfD fell just short of an outright majority, while coalition-building is difficult because most parties reject cooperation with it.
German MP and CDU politician Günter Krings described the Saxony-Anhalt election result as “devastating” and said the situation was “even worse than expected” after the far-right AfD secured 43.8% of the vote. He said it was not right to debate Merz’s future just one day after the result.
Exit polls showed the far-right Alternative for Germany finishing first in Sunday’s Saxony-Anhalt state election, bringing it within reach of state-level power for the first time since World War Two. France 24 correspondent Nick Holdsworth said it remains unclear whether voters were mainly rejecting Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s conservative government or explicitly endorsing the AfD.
The ballot-box victory brought the pro-Trump, Moscow-friendly Alternative for Germany within reach of forming its first state government. Germany’s domestic intelligence agency officially lists the party as “right-wing extremist,” adding to pressure on Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
Final results confirm the far-right Alternative for Germany won Saxony-Anhalt’s state election, but fell short of a parliamentary majority. Political forces are now debating possible ways out of the deadlock, while Chancellor Friedrich Merz is expected to respond around lunchtime.
A seismic state election in eastern Germany has seen the far-right, anti-migration Alternative for Germany sweep to power, sending shockwaves as far as Berlin and creating a nightmare for Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

The far-right AfD won the regional election in Germany’s eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt. In Belgrade, the burial of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić is testing Serbia’s EU bid after the bloc warned against glorifying him.
The AfD’s landslide in Saxony-Anhalt has raised alarms across the EU and intensified pressure on Germany’s centrist coalition and Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Although the anti-immigration party fell short of an outright majority, analysts describe the result as an unprecedented hard-right breakthrough since 1945. Its pro-Russia stance also has implications for Germany’s support for Ukraine and Europe’s response to Moscow.
At 35, Ulrich Siegmund is the AfD’s leading figure in Saxony-Anhalt, known for his media savvy and ambition to become minister-president. He wants to lead the party into government at the next state election.
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has won a historic victory in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, coming closer than any far-right party since World War II to holding power in a German state.
