Election Result
The AfD achieved its best result in its history in the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament election on September 6, winning 43.8% of the vote. This share is insufficient for the party to form a government on its own. The left-populist Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, known for its pro-Russian positions, received just over 5% and is the only party willing to support the AfD.
