AfD nominates Tobias Rausch for Saxony-Anhalt parliament presidency

The AfD has nominated long-serving parliamentarian Tobias Rausch for president of Saxony-Anhalt's state parliament. If elected, Rausch would become the first AfD speaker of a state parliament. The nomination follows the AfD's first-place finish in the Saxony-Anhalt election, ahead of the CDU and SPD. The result will show whether the strongest group can claim the chamber's top procedural post.
