The political landscape in Thuringia is complex, with the emergence of complicated majority conditions after the election. The state has experienced severe political crises, such as when FDP top candidate Thomas Kemmerich briefly became Minister President with the votes of the AfD.

The leader of the Left Party's parliamentary group threw flowers at Kemmerich's feet in protest. The surprising top candidate of the BSW party, Katja Wolf, could become Thuringia's new Minister President.

Thuringia is experiencing a rise in right-wing extremism, with the political landscape reflecting a shift from red to brown strongholds.
