AfD clearly wins election in Saxony-Anhalt, CDU suffers defeat
Videos
Regional elections in German Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday were clearly won by Alternative for Germany according to forecasts and projections. AfD received approximately 44 to 44.5 percent of votes and became the strongest party in the regional parliament. Prime Minister Sven Schulze's CDU fell below 20 percent and recorded significant losses. svet.sme.sk ↗
AfD led by chairman Ulrich Siegmund is claiming political initiative following the result. However, according to initial data, the party apparently did not secure an absolute majority, so it remains open whether it will be able to form a government. AfD representatives spoke of a mandate to negotiate and indicated readiness to negotiate coalition arrangements.
Prime Minister Schulze acknowledged the CDU's defeat and congratulated AfD on its victory. At the same time, he rejected describing the result as a black day for Saxony-Anhalt and pointed to high voter turnout. In parts of the regional CDU, following the weak result, calls appeared for Schulze to take personal responsibility and step down. Deutschlandfunk ↗
The elections represent a significant change in the politics of the East German federal state. Until now, Saxony-Anhalt was governed by a coalition of CDU, SPD and FDP under Schulze's leadership. Further developments will depend on the final distribution of seats and on whether other parties will allow AfD to participate in government or attempt to create a majority without it. hnonline.sk ↗
