"The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), now the biggest opposition party in the Bundestag, is steadily gaining support, with some polls suggesting that the AfD has pulled ahead of Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) and its allied Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU). In September's municipal elections across North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most-populous state, the AfD tripled its share of the vote from 2020."
"According to a recent study by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, 31% of Russia Germans are prepared to vote for the AfD. "This share is significantly higher than the AfD's average support among Germans with a migrant background, which stands at 19%," the report read. People from post-Soviet countries make up 12.4% of all voters with migrant backgrounds in Germany, or roughly 900,000 people, according to calculations by the DeZIM research center."
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has become the largest opposition party in the Bundestag and is gaining voter support, at times polling ahead of the CDU/CSU. In North Rhine-Westphalia municipal elections the AfD tripled its vote share compared with 2020. The AfD enjoys elevated support among ethnic Germans who resettled from the former Soviet Union and their descendants, with 31% prepared to vote AfD compared with 19% among migrants overall; people from post-Soviet countries form about 12.4% of migrant-background voters (roughly 900,000). AfD candidates now dominate several city integration councils in NRW.
