Can far-right Alternative for Germany govern after first state election win ? | DW News

The far-right Alternative for Germany party has won its first ever state election in the eastern state of Thuringia. It’s the biggest electoral victory for the German far-right since the Second World War.

Exit polls put the far-right AfD far ahead of its rivals in Thuringia and on course for major gains in Saxony. The votes in the two German states are seen as barometers for the federal elections next year.

All other mainstream political parties in Germany have previously maintained that they wouldn’t form a government with the AfD, but Thuringia AfD leader Bjorn Höcke has said that with his party in first place, it should be up to him to try and form a coalition.

The recently formed left-wing, anti-immigration Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance also performed well coming in third place on both states. With the fledgling party’s policy priorities not fully clear, it could still enter government.
