The AfD member of the state parliament Hagen Kohl failed on Thursday in the election for vice-president in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt in two ballots.
The AfD parliamentary group wanted to vote a third time on their personnel proposal.
However, at the request of the black-red-yellow coalition, the other five parliamentary groups voted to remove the issue from the agenda.
Magdeburg - Kohl was already the third applicant for the AfD.
The previously proposed candidates Matthias Büttner from Staßfurt and Matthias Lieschke had also not received approval from the other parliamentary groups in the past few weeks.
