Election outcomes - AFD completes count for nine run-off district elections.

The far-right party, AfD, has candidates running in the second round of elections in various districts - Eichsfeld, Gotha, Sömmerda, Greiz, Altenburger Land, Kyffhäuserkreis, and Ilm-Kreis, and Wartburgkreis. In Altenburger Land, one of their candidates is currently leading. However, in some instances, Björn Höcke, who is part of the party's far-right wing, ranked behind the frontrunners.

Among the 13 AfD candidates vying for the positions of Landrat and Oberbürgermeister, none made it to the second round in the Unstrut-Hainich-Kreis nor in the cities of Erfurt, Jena, and Gera. In the 2018 local elections, Gera was the only city that had an AfD candidate in a runoff election.
