All eyes are on the German state of Saxony-Anhalt as the far‑right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is reported by The Local to be polling around 40 per cent ahead of the Sunday election. The party’s surge places it among the front‑runners in a region traditionally dominated by centre‑right and centre‑left formations.
The Local consulted political experts to gauge what a strong AfD showing could mean for state governance. While some analysts warned that an AfD‑led administration would challenge Germany’s post‑war democratic consensus, others noted the legal and coalition hurdles the party would face. The election outcome, expected later on Sunday, will clarify whether the extremist party can convert its poll numbers into executive power.
