AfD celebrates historic victory in state elections in Saxony-Anhalt

After the clear victory in the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, the AfD is not only celebrating there. “This is a historic election success for the AfD and a great result for our friends in Saxony-Anhalt,” said Bavarian AfD state chairman Stephan Protschka. He spoke of an “enormous vote of confidence” from voters and congratulated top candidate Ulrich Siegmund. Protschka emphasized: “The AfD has long since become a political force that no one can ignore anymore.”

The leader of the AfD parliamentary group in the Bavarian state parliament, Katrin Ebner-Steiner, called the result “sensational” at an election party in Deggendorf. “The AfD made history in Saxony-Anhalt today.” Your party has shown “that democracy can work when a party represents the will of the citizens.” The people in Germany “deserve more than this gender gaga and this climate madness”. She emphasized: “I am looking forward to forming a government with Ulrich Siegmund.” She also sees the result in Saxony-Anhalt two years before the state elections in the Free State as “a good sign for us here in Bavaria”.

44 percent for the AfD, which is classified as right-wing extremist

According to the forecasts, the AfD, which the state Office for the Protection of the Constitution has classified as firmly right-wing extremist, will double its share of the vote to 44 to 44.5 percent (2021: 20.8 percent). With 18.5 percent (37.1 percent), the CDU is heading for its worst result in a state election in Saxony-Anhalt.

The Left receives 9 to 9.5 percent (11 percent). The Greens are at 8.5 to 9 percent (5.9 percent). The SPD comes to 8 to 9 percent (8.4 percent). The FDP flies out of parliament with 2 to 2.5 percent (6.4 percent). The Sahra Wagenknecht alliance stands at 4.8 to 5 percent. Forming a government is likely to be difficult.
