Major win for Germany’s far-right AfD in state election, but government formation remains elusive

According to exit polls, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has secured approximately 44% of the vote in a state election, marking a significant victory. It remains unclear whether this result will pave the way for the country's first far-right state government since World War II. All major German political parties have thus far ruled out any form of cooperation or coalition with the AfD. As reported by the Times of Israel, given this stance by other parties, forming a government currently presents a major challenge for the AfD.
