AfD Projected to Win 41% in Saxony-Anhalt, Poised for First State Power Since 1945

On 6 September 2026, voters in Saxony-Anhalt cast ballots with the AfD projected at 41 percent — nearly double its 20.8 percent federal result in February 2025. If confirmed, the far-right party would take control of a state parliament for the first time since World War II, testing Germany's cross-party firewall against governing with the AfD.
