Electoral outcomes are deliberated in Saxony and Thuringia by the respective political committees.
The coalition parties of the traffic light government sustained losses in both regional elections. The Free Democratic Party (FDP) is no longer present in either state legislature, while the Greens were ousted from the state parliament in Thuringia. In Thuringia, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) clinched a decisive victory over the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). Conversely, in Saxony, the CDU emerged victorious in a close race against the AfD. In both states, the freshly established BSW managed to secure double-digit scores in their debut election.
The Federal Government may need to reevaluate its support for the coalition parties in Thuringia, given the Green Party's defeat. The Federal Government will need to address the significant gains made by the Alternative for Germany in Thuringia, a state overseen by the Federal Government.
