- AfD was projected to finish first in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt, per exit polls.
- Whether AfD would win an outright majority — which would make it the first far-right party to govern a German state since World War II — remained unclear.
Why it matters: An AfD majority would shatter a postwar German political norm by installing a far-right party in state leadership, while Saxony-Anhalt's result deepens the east-west divergence that has defined recent German elections.
