Saxony-Anhalt voters
VS
Chancellor Friedrich Merz
Saxony-Anhalt voters are the electorate of the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt, which holds a parliamentary election on September 6, 2026.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz is the leader of Germany's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and heads the federal government.
The state election is widely seen as a test of Merz's federal government and could have nationwide consequences.
The conflict centers on the possibility that the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) could win the state election and form a state government for the first time since the Nazi era.
Recent polls show the AfD at 41%, ahead of the CDU.
Merz has vowed to do all he can to prevent an AfD victory, but his party may face difficult coalition choices if it does not win outright.
The outcome could increase dissatisfaction with Merz's leadership and affect the stability of Germany's federal government.
The election is also seen as a reflection of broader political discontent in eastern Germany.
