AfD calls for cooperation after missing majority in state election

The far‑right party emerged from the recent state election with the largest single share of votes but fell three seats short of the 101‑seat majority required to govern outright. With 48 seats secured, the party announced it will seek coalition partners to bridge the gap and form a stable administration, initiating talks with several centrist and regional factions that hold the remaining balance of power in the legislature.

Negotiations are expected to focus on policy compromises and the allocation of ministerial portfolios, while opposition parties have signaled a willingness to block any alliance that would grant the far‑right party executive authority. The outcome of these discussions will determine whether the state will see a new coalition government or face a potential caretaker administration pending further political maneuvering.
