- AfD is projected to win around 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt's regional election, more than double its result from five years ago.
- Other major German parties have ruled out coalition cooperation with the AfD, blocking the party from forming a state government despite its projected victory.
Why it matters: The AfD's projected 44% in Saxony-Anhalt, more than double its previous result, shows a dramatic surge for Germany's far right, yet the unified refusal of other parties to cooperate leaves the state's governing majority unresolved — voters backed the AfD by a wide margin, but the party still faces an uphill path to power.
