Germany’s far-right AfD is projected to achieve a major electoral victory in an eastern state, with forecasts putting the party on more than 44% of the vote.
The projected result places the AfD far ahead of the conservative CDU, which is shown on 18.4%. On the figures available, the AfD would hold a substantial lead over its nearest named rival.
The party has described the projected outcome as a “historic result”. The statement reflects the scale of the projected vote share reported for the AfD in the eastern state contest.
The CDU’s projected 18.4% share leaves it significantly behind the AfD in the figures currently available. No further party totals, turnout figures or confirmed final results have been provided in the source material.
The latest position is that the outcome remains based on projections. A final confirmed result has not been supplied, and the extent of any political consequences will depend on the official count and subsequent developments.
