AfD projected to win state election in first regional breakthrough
The projected result could give the far-right Alternative for Germany its first state-level victory, although government formation is not confirmed.
Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is projected to win a state election, according to Al Jazeera Global News.
If confirmed, the result would mark the first time the AfD has taken power at state level in Germany, which is made up of 16 states.
The available reporting does not identify the state involved or provide vote shares, seat numbers or turnout figures.
Nor does the projection establish that the AfD has formed a state government. Any change in government may depend on coalition negotiations.
The result therefore remains a projection pending official results and clarification of the arrangements for governing the state.
