AfD Projected to Win Saxony-Anhalt at Record-High Support Despite Extremist Label

The far-right AfD is projected to win Saxony-Anhalt's state election on 6 September 2026 with over 40% — its highest level in any German state. Germany's domestic intelligence agency classifies the local AfD branch as "right-wing extremist." The result comes two weeks before Germany's federal election, where the AfD's momentum faces a national firewall of non-cooperation from all other major parties.
