AfD takes 38% to become largest party in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Alternative for Germany won 38% in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, becoming the state's largest party ahead of the SPD. The result reported 21 September 2026 doubled the party's prior share. It followed an AfD majority in Saxony-Anhalt about a fortnight before 21 September 2026. Consecutive eastern first-place finishes will reshape how rivals campaign nationally.
