Sven Schulze Elected Saxony-Anhalt Governor to Counter Far-Right AfD

#Altstadt, #Germany
Sven Schulze was elected Minister-President of Saxony-Anhalt with 58 votes in the Magdeburg state parliament, securing support beyond his coalition of the Christian Democratic Union, Social Democratic Party, and Free Democratic Party.Schulze succeeds 71-year-old Reiner Haseloff, who stepped down early to boost the profile of his successor before the regional election scheduled for September 6.This leadership change is a strategic move by mainstream parties to counter the far-right Alternative for Germany, which currently leads state polls with 40 percent support.
