State Election
In Saxony-Anhalt, the coalition parties CDU, SPD, and FDP have approved the early transition from Minister President Reiner Haseloff to Sven Schulze. The 71-year-old Haseloff seeks to continue the black-red-yellow coalition without changes to ministry distributions. The aim is to give Schulze an incumbency advantage ahead of the 2026 state election.

Jan van Aken, leader of Die Linke, rules out a coalition with the CDU in the upcoming Saxony-Anhalt state election to block an AfD government. Instead, he is open to supporting a CDU-led minority government on specific issues, provided there is no cooperation with the AfD.
