Regional elections in Saxony and Thuringia
Germany is paying close attention to results of two state elections in eastern Germany ahead of a nationwide vote set for 2025. The far-right populist AfD made gains in Saxony and Thuringia.
Germany's far-right populist AfD was projected to win regional elections in Thuringia and finish just behind the center-right CDU in Saxony. It's the first time a far-right party won a state election since World War II.
