The state election in Brandenburg is approaching, with the AfD leading in the polls followed by the CDU, SPD, and the BSW. Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke suggests he would step down if the AfD gained a majority.
A study by the Bertelsmann Foundation reveals that the AfD could win more direct mandates than it is entitled to, potentially conflicting with the state constitution. Several incidents of racism and right-wing extremism have occurred in the lead-up to the election.
The strong economic growth in Brandenburg is closely tied to the Tesla settlement, which is controversial among the population. Prime Minister Woidke is refraining from support from Berlin, and joint appearances with Chancellor Olaf Scholz are not planned.
CDU top candidate Jan Redmann has attracted attention for a drunk driving incident on an e-scooter. The right-wing extremist Hans-Christoph Berndt claims that the established parties are 'squandering' German citizenship.
The election outcome remains uncertain, and the final weeks of the campaign will be crucial for attracting undecided and tactical voters.
