The far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) is poised to overtake the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) in the upcoming election in Brandenburg, according to recent polls. If the AfD emerges victorious, it would be the first time since 1990 that the SPD loses its leading position. The left-wing Sarah Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) is also expected to make a significant impact in the state parliament, potentially preventing the AfD from joining a new state government. The outcome of the election will not only shape the political landscape in Brandenburg but also have implications for the national government. If the SPD fails to win, regional head Dietmar Woidke has announced that he will retire from politics. This election is crucial in determining the future direction of German politics and has garnered significant attention both domestically and internationally.
