The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party polled near 10% of the vote in Saxony over the weekend

  • Above the 5% threshold to enter that state’s parliament

And more:

  • win 9.7% of the vote
  • Potentially enough to claim 14 of the 126 seats in the Saxony parliament
  • It would even be enough to enter government as part of a coalition with the centre-right CDU, though that has been ruled out by the CDU state premier, Stanislaw Tillich, whose party was the clear winner with 39.4%.
