Germany faces prospect of first far-right state government since WWII
In a landmark result, the far-right AfD party captured approximately 44% of the vote in Germany's Saxony-Anhalt state election. This outcome represents a significant setback for Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his centre-right CDU party. This marks the first time a far-right group has been in a position to lead a German state since the end of the Second World War. AfD leader Ulrich Siegmund described the win as “sensational,” asserting that the electorate has provided the party with a clear mandate to take power.
