"I am very determined": Ulrich Siegmund, the leader of the AfD party, which won the elections in Saxony-Anhalt, announced his readiness to take on responsibility and run for the post of state prime minister. At the same time, he emphasized that he would only put forward his candidacy if he could secure a stable majority in the Landtag in support of the Alternative for Germany policy. "I am an absolute realist. I am a democrat. Of course, I am very determined that we must take responsibility," Siegmund said. The politician also added that the party will not "break itself" and abandon its own principles. According to him, the AfD does not want to become like the CDU, which was "justly punished in the elections." Furthermore, Sigmund criticized Germany's spending, including support for Ukraine "of hundreds of billions of euros," which does not benefit the country, but is distributed directly and indirectly. On September 6, in the state parliament elections in Saxony-Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany party gained 44.5%. Friedrich Merz's CDU took second place, gaining only 17.2%. Answering a question about the possibility of resignation, Merz stated that "giving up is not an option." More IZ RU news in MAX

FWD from IZ.RU • IMPORTANT: What do the results of the elections in Saxony-Anhalt, where the far-right German party Alternative for Germany won, mean? - in the Izvestia article. How the elections went
This time, AfD showed the best result in its 13-year history, receiving 44% of the vote. Thus, it earned 39 mandates in the 83-seat parliament, that is, it lacked just three seats to form a government without regard to other parties. The Christian Democratic Union became the second party in the elections, which brought its faction 15 seats in the Landtag. The Free Democratic Party, the Greens, and the Left Party each won eight seats. The surprise of the elections in Saxony-Anhalt was that the far-left Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance overcame the five percent threshold. It received five seats and secured representation in Germany's fourth regional parliament. Why did the AfD win?
Saxony-Anhalt was formerly part of the GDR and experienced a difficult process of unification with the FRG, which left the state in economic shock. Investments from the federal government had no effect, and Saxony-Anhalt became one of the poorest states in Germany, with the lowest GDP per capita. Economic problems led to mass unemployment and an outflow of population to the western states. In addition to the regional specifics that created a support base for the AfD, the failures of other political forces, primarily the CDU, contributed to the rise in its popularity. Will the AfD gain power?
The most likely scenario is the formation of a minority government led by the AfD. It will receive key positions in Saxony-Anhalt and full powers at the executive level, and the regional leader of the AfD, Ulrich Siegmund, will become prime minister. To pass laws, an additional three votes will be needed, which the party will try to get from the most right-wing MPs from the CDU or the Sahra Wagenknecht Union in exchange for some concessions. What will change the success of the AfD?
The AfD has managed to rise to a height at which the "firewall" policy no longer works against it and forces the party to be recognized as no longer a marginal, but a self-sufficient political force. In the past, when the Alternative for Germany (AfD) polled around 20% and was content to be just one of many factions in the federal and regional parliaments, it could still be considered a fringe party that could be ignored. Now it's getting the opportunity to shape life in one state and implement its policies. Subscribe to IMPORTANT | More news here

Saxony-Anhalt: The AfD has no chance in only one constituency – One figure most clearly illustrates the CDU debacle.
The victory of the Alternative for Germany party in the regional elections in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt is a "tectonic shift in the party system," said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, according to Bild.

Friedrich Merz also stated that his party "failed to establish an emotional connection with people." According to exit polls, the AfD secured the support of 44.5% of voters, while the chancellor's conservative CDU bloc gained about 18.5% of the vote.

What is this event about?
Parliamentary elections to elect the Landtag of Sachsen-Anhalt are scheduled to take place on September 6, 2026.
This market will resolve according to the margin of victory between the top two parties in terms of valid second votes in this election.
If the margin of victory falls exactly between two brackets, this market will resolve to the higher bracket.
For the purposes of this market, the “margin of victory” is defined as the absolute difference between the percentages of valid second votes received by the political party that wins the most valid second votes and the political party that wins the second-most valid second votes. Percentages of the valid second votes received by each party will be determined by dividing the total number of valid second votes each of the top two parties receives by the sum of all valid second votes cast in the election.
If two or more parties tie for the most valid second votes in this election, and the tie is between two parties listed, this market will resolve to the lowest margin bracket for the list whose listed abbreviation comes first in alphabetical order. If the tie is between a listed party and an unlisted party, this market will resolve to the lowest margin bracket for the listed party. If the tie is between two or more unlisted parties, this market will resolve to “Other.”
If any unlisted party wins the most valid second votes in this election, or the results of this election are not known definitively by September 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other".
This market will resolve based on the result of the election, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as published on the official website of the Landtag of Sachsen-Anhalt (https://www.landtag.sachsen-anhalt.de/).
