AfD leader in Saxony-Anhalt wants to be state premier

Alternative for Germany (AfD) election leader in Saxony-Anhalt Ulrich Siegmund wants to run for the post of state premier in December. He announced that he will appear before the members of the state parliament and attempt to gain their support. hnonline.sk ↗

AfD became the strongest political party in Saxony-Anhalt in the recent state elections. However, Siegmund will fight for the office despite the fact that his party does not have a majority in the state parliament. He therefore needs the support of members from other political groupings to be elected. n-tv ↗

The Social Democratic Party of Germany, the Greens, the Left, and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance announced after the first round of talks that they want to continue the negotiations. The next round is also expected to address the question of whether the state could be led by a non-partisan premier. Deutschlandfunk ↗

The outcome of the December vote will thus depend on negotiations between the parties represented in the state parliament. Although AfD gained the strongest position, its electoral success alone does not guarantee it the formation of a government or Siegmund's election without the necessary majority. At the same time, the members of parliament will be deciding on the further direction of the state and on the possible shape of government cooperation.
