The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) secured a historic victory by finishing first in state elections for the first time since WWII, reflecting rising popularity.
AfD leader Bjorn Hocke celebrated the projected lead as a 'historic victory' but faces challenges in forming a government, as no party is willing to ally with them.
Christian Democratic Union (CDU) general secretary Carsten Linnemann reaffirmed their stance against coalition with AfD, clarifying that 'we wouldn’t form a coalition with the AfD, and it will stay that way.'
The elections in Thuringia and Saxony highlight a shift in voter sentiment, signaling a potential threat to the stability of the federal coalition government in Germany.
