They project the first state victory for the AfD, the far-right party in Germany

The political party Alternative for Germany (AfD) is projected to secure a victory in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt. Early projections indicate the party is leading significantly ahead of its primary political rivals in the region.

While the results suggest a strong performance, it remains unclear whether the party will achieve an absolute majority. Should the AfD successfully form a government, it would represent the first time the party has governed at the state level in Germany, an event that has drawn attention from other far-right political figures across Europe.
