Elections: Saxony-Anhalt state parliament to be constituted on October 6
The AfD has become the strongest force in the elections and has 39 members of parliament. Representatives of the AfD and BSW are currently exploring in discussions the extent to which cooperation is possible.
The new Saxony-Anhalt state parliament will convene for its first session on October 6 in Magdeburg, starting at 11:00 am. The AfD emerged as the strongest party in the September 6 state election, but without an absolute majority, with 39 seats out of 83. The party is currently in talks with the BSW, which has 5 seats, to explore potential cooperation, but the BSW has ruled out a coalition.
The BSW has announced it will vote for an AfD candidate for the post of parliamentary president, which will be decided during the inaugural session. Protests have been planned in Magdeburg by the "widersetzen" alliance, which opposes the AfD.
