The election comes as the AfD seeks to lead a state government for the first time, with its regional leader Ulrich Siegmund hoping to become Saxony-Anhalt’s minister-president in December. Siegmund has dismissed the firewall as "childish"

Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, part of the AfD’s more extreme wing, was elected as Rausch’s deputy later in the day. As speaker, Rausch oversees parliamentary sessions and administration, and his election does not mean the AfD has taken control of the entire state government

4 votes came from lawmakers outside the two parties; their identities remain unknown as it was a secret ballot. Suspicion allegedly fell on the 15 members of Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) party, who had been told to abstain, Reuters reported

Rausch, a former estate agent, was then elected in the 1st round of voting on Oct. 6, during the inaugural meeting of the regional parliament’s members. Rausch received 48 out of 82 votes cast, gaining support from 5 lawmakers belonging to the BSW, a left-wing populist party

The AfD had already won 43.8% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt’s election on Sept. 6, securing 39 of the parliament’s 83 seats, making it the largest party but leaving it short of a majority. The AfD’s Saxony-Anhalt branch has been classified as a right-wing extremist organization
