According to official preliminary results in Germany , the AfD has claimed 32.8% of the vote in Sunday’s legislative election in the state of Thuringia in the eastern part of Germany.
The conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party is expected to come in second, with 23.6% of the ballots.
The two parties were also neck-in-neck in the neighboring state of Saxony, according to exit polls, with CDU and AfD claiming 32% and 31.5% of the vote, respectively.
None of the members of Germany’s ruling ‘traffic light’ coalition – the Social Democratic Party (SPD) of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the Greens – were able to make it to the top three in either of the states.
