the far-right alternative for germany party won more than 60% of the votes in the parliamentary elections in thuringia, becoming the largest party in the state parliament. this marks the first victory of the alternative for germany party and opens a new window for it to take the lead in the german political arena. however, despite the majority of votes, the alternative for germany party still faces challenges in forming a state government because they did not exceed half of the seats in the state parliamentary elections and faced boycotts and refusal to form an alliance from other parties.
in saxony, germany's largest opposition party, the christian democratic union (cdu), became the largest party in the state parliament with 31.9% of the votes, indicating that its political influence in the state is still strong. however, in the state parliamentary elections, the alternative for germany performed well and won 30.6% of the votes, becoming the second largest party in the state parliament, which also poses new challenges to the cdu.
these results also reflect the complexity and variability of germany's political ecology. with the vote share of the german social democratic party, the green party and the free democratic party falling sharply, the emerging left-wing populist alliance sara wagenknecht alliance (bsw) won 15.8% of the votes in thuringia, ranking third in support, indicating that left-wing parties are gaining more and more attention on the german political stage.
it is worth noting that the vote share of the german choice party has not exceeded more than half of the seats, so it is still difficult for it to form a state government. since most other mainstream parties refuse to form an alliance with it, even if the german choice party wins a majority of votes, it still faces the challenge of forming a state government.
this fierce competition and rapid change in the german political arena will continue. as these emerging forces have an increasing influence on the german political landscape, the german political ecology is undergoing a profound transformation.
