What happened, for context

Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is competing in a regional election in Saxony-Anhalt on 6 September 2026, with polls showing it at approximately 40–41% support. If elected, the AfD would become the first far-right party to hold state power in Germany since World War II. The party's 35-year-old lead candidate is Ulrich Siegmund. An absolute majority would allow the AfD to bypass other parties' 'firewall' policy of refusing to coalition with it; without a majority, it would face difficulty forming a government.
