The CDU has become the strongest force in the state elections in Saxony with 31.9 percent. After counting all constituencies, it is ahead of the AfD, which received 30.6 percent of the vote. The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) contested the state election for the first time and achieved 11.8% at the first attempt, as the state election management announced on its website. This makes her the third-strongest parliamentary group in the state parliament. The SPD received 7.3 percent of the vote, while the Greens achieved 5.1 percent. The Left Party slipped to 4.5 percent, but managed to re-enter the state parliament by winning two direct mandates. At 74.4 percent, voter turnout was higher than ever before in a state election in the federal state.
