Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer, a member of the CDU, has openly supported SPD's Dietmar Woidke in the upcoming Brandenburg state election. Despite this endorsement causing some friction within his own party, Kretschmer emphasizes his commitment to the region's welfare.
Polls show a tight race, with the AfD slightly ahead of the SPD, and the CDU trailing behind. The Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) is also a significant contender, while the Greens risk not securing any seats.
Former Bundestag President Rita Süssmuth has also voiced her support for Woidke, adding further complexity to the political landscape. This unusual political alignment has stirred debate, reflecting the challenging dynamics as parties navigate the electoral terrain.
With the AfD's strong showing and the CDU's internal disagreements, the outcome of the election could have substantial implications for both Brandenburg and the broader German political scene.
