AfD party conferences in the southwest are not made up of delegates, but of ordinary members. Anyone can come, so the number of participants is difficult for the organizers to calculate in advance.

Opposing camps try to bring as many of their own supporters as possible from all over the country to party conferences. The Southwest AfD has been deeply divided for years - with two hostile camps for years. It is unclear whether there will ultimately be board elections on Saturday dpa. Only the state state leader will be elected.
