In a historic political shift, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has emerged as the second largest political force in Germany just twelve years post-establishment. Securing around 20% of the vote, the AfD almost doubled its performance from the previous election in 2021 and has become the leading party in eastern Germany.
