In Sunday’s state election in Saxony-Anhalt, local Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) lead candidate Ulrich Siegmund ran on the slogan “Anything Is Possible.” Those same words could serve as the headline for political forecasts the day after the vote. For while the election produced a clear winner, it didn’t yield a definitive outcome.

While the far-right AfD scored an impressive 43.8 percent of votes cast, it has not secured an absolute majority. Nor does the anti-AfD camp have a majority, as Sahra Wagenknecht’s party — Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BW), a split from the socialist Die Linke — stands in between the two sides. If the AfD’s Siegmund is to be elected Saxony-Anhalt’s minister-president, he still needs three extra lawmakers in the state parliament on his side.

One possibility is that a few Christian Democrats (CDU) who sympathize with the AfD and want nothing to do with Die Linke might switch sides. With its 17.2 percent share, the CDU’s ability to bring people together seems to have hit a low point. Alternatively, the BSW, on 5.3 percent, could be key. Whether BSW will support the AfD, as feared by the anti-AfD camp, or simply cost Siegmund his outright majority (as the AfD itself warned before the election) remains to be seen.
