The far-right AfD won the election in Thuringia with 32.8% of the vote, significantly impacting the political landscape ahead of the federal elections.
In Saxony, the CDU led with 31.9%, closely followed by the AfD at 30.6%, indicating a strong support for nationalist parties in eastern Germany.
The results signal a major setback for Germany's ruling coalition, with the SPD only managing 6.1% in Thuringia and weaker support in Saxony.
The upstart left-wing BSW party also showed promise, securing notable percentages in both states, highlighting a shift in voter preferences in the region.
