The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party won the Saxony-Anhalt state election but failed to secure an absolute majority in the German state parliament.

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) won 43.8% of the vote in Germany's Saxony-Anhalt state election, according to preliminary official results, making it the largest party, but falling short of a governing majority in the regional parliament.

Six parties will be represented in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, which has 83 seats:

Alternative for Germany (AfD) — 43.8%, 39 seats
Christian Democratic Union (CDU) — 17.2%, 15 seats
Social Democratic Party (SPD) — 9.3%, 8 seats
Green Party — 8.9%, 8 seats
Left Party — 8.6%, 8 seats
Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) — 5.3%, 5 seats
Meanwhile, the business-focused Free Democrats (FDP) secured only 2.6% of the vote, failing to reach the 5% threshold.

According to the preliminary results, turnout was almost 78%, the highest in Saxony-Anhalt since German reunification in 1990.
