In Thuringia, Germany, a three-party coalition outvoted the far-right AfD, electing Mario Voigt as premier.

In eastern Germany's Thuringia, three parties formed a coalition to block the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) from power, despite the AfD winning the most votes in September. Mario Voigt from the Christian Democrats was elected state premier with 51 votes, thanks to support from the coalition partners. The coalition includes the Social Democrats and the populist left Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, aiming to prevent the AfD from governing. This move could complicate national coalition efforts in Germany.
