AfD Wants Rausch to Lead Saxony-Anhalt Parliament

AfD has nominated Tobias Rausch, its long-time lawmaker, to chair Saxony-Anhalt's state parliament — like a referee running debates. If chosen, he would be the AfD's first leader of any state parliament. The party finished first in the state's election, ahead of the CDU and SPD, and now seeks the top referee job.
