According to the latest polls for the upcoming election in Sachsen-Anhalt, the AfD is projected to achieve between 41 and 43 percent of the vote. This could enable the party to gain government power in Germany for the first time since 1945. Current surveys cited by various media outlets highlight this trend.

Top candidate Ulrich Siegmund expressed hope for a majority government, describing the state as a testing ground for far-right politics in Germany. This comes as other parties, such as the BSW and the Greens, face uncertainty regarding their positions.

Siegmund and other AfD representatives are already celebrating ahead of the election, emphasizing their desire to "make history," while polling stations are open and results can be tracked live.
