Polling released ahead of the September 6 state election in Saxony-Anhalt indicates the Alternative for Germany party holds the lead. Party officials state that a victory would mark the first time the AfD has led a state government in Germany. Lead candidate Ulrich Siegmund said such an outcome would create a “domino effect” across the country.
The party has outlined several policy positions for the campaign.
The AfD platform includes proposals to detain rejected asylum seekers pending deportation. Officials also plan to remove diversity and LGBTQ-related content from school curricula and to restore Russian language instruction. The election is scheduled for September 6.
