- Concluding contest in the political competition for the Thuringian state legislature during the election period
Before the upcoming local election, political parties in Thuringia are once again trying to win over voters. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is giving their all in their campaign with a final rally in Erfurt, featuring top candidate Björn Höcke and federal chairwoman Alice Weidel.
The Left, led by their top candidate Bodo Ramelow, is campaigning in Gera. Smaller parties like the MLPD are also planning more campaign events. Meanwhile, the Green Party's top candidates, Bernhard Stengele and Madeleine Henfling, are moving their political push online, answering questions on Instagram.
The latest surveys in Thuringia reveal only minor shifts in the parties' support. The AfD is leading with a range of 29-30%. The CDU, BSW, and The Left trail behind. On Sunday, 1.66 million Thuringians will cast their votes to elect a new state parliament.
In the same vein as political parties intensifying their pre-election efforts, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) has launched a campaign for the election of the regional parliament, aiming to regain some lost ground. With just a few days left until the polls open, they are holding rallies and engaging with voters to present their manifesto.
Following various campaign strategies, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) also joins the campaign for the election of the regional parliament, emphasizing their focus on education and economic growth in their promotional materials and public appearances.
