State Elections in Saxony-Anhalt: CDU Between Left and AfD - Complicated Path to Majority
To govern with the help of the Left or to let the AfD have its way: The CDU could be faced with these two options after the election in Saxony-Anhalt. The discussion about the right way is already getting underway.
Saxony-Anhalt's Deputy CDU leader Sepp Müller has stated that if the far-right AfD party wins the most votes in the upcoming state election, it should be given the mandate to form a government. Müller's comments have caused controversy within the CDU, with some members opposing any potential cooperation with the AfD. The AfD, led by Ulrich Siegmund, is currently polling around 20 points ahead of the CDU, but it is unclear if they will achieve an absolute majority.
CDU leader Sven Schulze has declined to comment on Müller's statements, but has emphasized his focus on solving problems in the state.
