Following the CDU's victory in Rhineland-Palatinate's state election, party leader Gordon Schnieder has been mandated to lead exploratory talks with the SPD's Alexander Schweitzer on forming a grand coalition, as alliances with the AfD remain off the table.
The AfD faction in the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament has voted out its leader Jan Bollinger shortly after a strong election result. Michael Büge takes over as new faction head. Bollinger remains in the faction and calls for loyalty to the party.
