The next election to the Landtag of Thuringia is scheduled for 2029.
Background
In the 2024 election, the AfD became the first far-right party in Germany since the Nazi Party to win a plurality of seats in a state election. The Thuringian AfD is led by Björn Höcke.Mario Voigt was elected Minister-President on the first ballot with 51 votes in favor, 33 votes against, and 4 abstentions. His party formed a minority coalition with the SPD and the BSW. To achieve confirmation and reach the necessary majority, the Left – which positioned itself as "constructive opposition" – provided some of the votes in favor.
