Update from Sunday, 7:50 a.m.:
In Saxony-Anhalt, a new state parliament will be elected on Sunday (8 a.m.).
Around 1.8 million eligible voters are called upon to cast their votes.
Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff is fighting for an election victory for the CDU and for a third term in office.
In surveys, the ruling Christian Democrats were mostly ahead, but in some cases closely followed by the AfD, which can again count on a strong result.
The FDP can hope for a return to the state parliament.
After the election, according to the latest polls, a continuation of the currently ruling Kenya coalition of CDU, SPD and Greens would be possible.
A black-red-yellow or black-green-yellow alliance are also conceivable.
The state election in Saxony-Anhalt is considered the last mood test before the federal election on September 26th.
State election of Saxony-Anhalt: who will be the strongest force?
Magdeburg - Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg submitted in March.
Saxony-Anhalt is now continuing the super election year 2021 * and electing a new state parliament.
The CDU may run the risk of losing its status as the strongest party to the AfD.
Central Germany is also being looked forward to: The state election of Saxony-Anhalt * is a real test of the mood for the CDU before the federal election in 2021 *.
In the week before the state elections there was already a lot of noise.
Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU), who is aiming for a third term, was attacked not only by the left, but also by his own coalition partners, the SPD and the Greens, in the MDR's TV duel.
There was mainly criticism of the education policy and the way the Corona * crisis was dealt with.
Haseloff, meanwhile, blames the federal government for his party's poor poll numbers.
Structural change in energy supply and agriculture are also important issues for Saxony-Anhalt.

Surveys on the state election of Saxony-Anhalt * promise a close race.
Sunday will show whether the CDU will remain the strongest force in parliament or whether it will be replaced by the AfD.

The Christian Democrats are now trying to establish a clear demarcation from the AfD.

But even if the AfD should prevail as the strongest force: No party in the state parliament will want to enter into an alliance with it.
Based on surveys, a “Jamaica” - (CDU, Greens, FDP), “Kenya” - (CDU, SPD, Greens), “Zimbabwe” - (CDU, SPD, Greens, FDP) or “Germany” coalition * would be most likely conceivable.
The currently ruling Kenya coalition was formed in 2016 out of necessity.
In 2020, the alliance almost broke up.
One thing is certain: Saxony-Anhalt is facing weeks of tough coalition negotiations after the state elections.
