State election in Saxony-Anhalt: Lead for the AfD - but after the election, everyone against one?
There are just a few days left until the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt. A survey sees the AfD far ahead - but according to this, it would not be enough for a sole government. What government options remain?
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is likely to emerge as the strongest force in the upcoming state election in Saxony-Anhalt, with 40% of the vote, according to a recent poll by the Forschungsgruppe Wahlen for ZDF. The Christian Democrats (CDU), led by Minister-President Sven Schulze, trail behind with 23%. If the AfD falls short of achieving an absolute majority, potential coalition options are limited, with the CDU expressing reservations about working with the far-left Die Linke party.
Schulze may have to form a minority government, relying on support from other parties, including possibly Die Linke.
