In December: Duel in the election of the Prime Minister in Saxony-Anhalt?
The AfD politician Ulrich Siegmund wants to become Prime Minister in December, but he is missing three votes for a majority. The Left is now checking whether it will send its own candidate into the race.
Eva von Angern, leader of the Left faction in Saxony-Anhalt, is considering running against AfD politician Ulrich Siegmund in the state's upcoming minister-president election. Her faction is set to decide on whether to field a candidate at a meeting on Tuesday. Von Angern criticised the AfD for its "backward-looking policy" and for "dividing the country". Siegmund needs three votes from other parties to win, but the CDU faction has said it will leave the chamber during the vote, while the BSW plans to abstain.
