Sachsen-Anhalt: Alleinregierung der AfD oder eine Minderheitsregierung? Die Optionen nach der Wahl und ihre Folgen

Die AfD führt Umfragen in Sachsen-Anhalt mit großem Vorsprung an. Doch welche Partei kann nach der Wahl eine Regierung bilden – und wie? Die Konsequenzen dürften weitreichend sein.

Sachsen-Anhalt: Alleinregierung der AfD oder eine Minderheitsregierung? Die Optionen nach der Wahl und ihre Folgen

On Sunday, 1.7 million voters in Saxony-Anhalt will choose a state parliament. The Magdeburg State Parliament will be elected by 97 representatives for a five-year term, determining the course of the state. This election has been unusually clear and uncertain, as it's difficult to predict which party will form the government and who will lead it.

In a recent survey conducted by the Landesverfassungsschutz, the AfD, classified as right-wing extremist, received 40% of the vote, far ahead of the CDU (23%), the Left (13%), the SPD (9%), and the Greens (6%). The BSW predicts that neither the AfD nor the FDP will gain a seat in the parliament, both with three percent. These opinions are based on the assumption that voters will still decide on the eve of the election, and that people in Eastern Germany are less attached to political parties than those in Western Germany.
