Germany’s far-right party has won a strong mandate in two East German states, shocking many except the citizens in these regions, who have shown their anger at the ruling coalition in the country led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz. This was the first major victory for the post-war Alternative for Germany (AfD)party, registering record gains in two East German states: Thuringia and Saxony.

Although the AfD has obtained major gains in the two Eastern states, no other political party in Germany is willing to form a coalition with the far-right party, and it is unlikely to form the government in the states.

The ruling coalition will remain in power despite its dismal performance. However, it will face huge problems as the AfD is strong enough to oppose several major decisions that the current government could take.

The AfD won 32.8 percent of the popular vote in Thuringia. It came second in Saxony with 30.6 percent of the vote, while the Christian Democrats led in Saxony.

One of the ruling coalition members, the FDP, was removed from the parliament in Thuringia and unable to reach the 5 percent threshold in Saxony. Other coalition members faced a lot of voters’ wrath, and a new populist left-leaning party called the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) came in third place.

The founder of BSW is a former member of the old East German Communist Party. She has not yet mentioned the position her party, which fought and won its first election in Germany in 2024, will take shortly.

All the parties that gained in the recent German elections had strong views on immigration and the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Many voters from the East German states and throughout the country believe these two issues are not being tackled well and have punished the ruling coalition by decreasing its vote share in Germany.
