AfD Poised for Historic Win in Saxony-Anhalt
TL;DR Summary
Exit polls project the AfD to win about 44–45% in Saxony-Anhalt, far ahead of the CDU and potentially give it a mandate to govern — a historic milestone for a German state’s far-right party. Ulrich Siegmund says the AfD won’t rule with other parties, but whether it obtains a majority depends on smaller parties crossing the 5% threshold. A governing AfD would control policing, education and culture; the party is labeled far-right extremist by domestic intelligence, a claim Siegmund rejects.
