Wahlen: Landtag von Sachsen-Anhalt konstituiert sich am 6. Oktober

Magdeburg is set to host the inaugural meeting of the newly constituted Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt on October 6th at 11:00 AM, according to several parliamentary assistants of the parties. The AfD emerged as the clear winner in the September state election in Saxony-Anhalt but fell short of securing an absolute majority. The Landtag consists of 83 deputies, with 39 belonging to the AfD, while the CDU, Linke, Grüne, and SPD share the remaining 39 seats.

A delegation from the AfD and the BSW are currently discussing the possibility of joint efforts, but the latter does not intend to form a coalition, instead proposing targeted collaboration on specific issues. The BSW has also announced its intention to support an AfD candidate for the position of Landtag President at this first sitting of the parliament.

The election marks the constitutional session of the legislative body, and there might be a larger demonstration in Magdeburg as part of the protest called by the "refuse" coalition, which mobilizes against the AfD and advocates for civil disobedience, planning to surround the Landtag from all sides.
