Far-right AfD Leads Polls ahead of Crucial Saxony-Anhalt State Election in Germany | DW News

Sep 5, 2026 | It’s the final day of campaigning ahead of a crucial state election in Germany that could give the far-right a mandate to govern for the first time. Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany is heading into Sunday’s Saxony-Anhalt election with a strong lead in the polls, even though authorities have designated the party’s state branch as anti-constitutional and a far-right extremist group. Rival parties have ruled out working with the AfD, while nearly a third of voters remain undecided.
