Party congress of the BSW: Payer for the 2026 state election in Saxony-Anhalt!

An exciting event is imminent: On June 21, 2025, the second state party conference of the Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) Saxony-Anhalt will take place in Magdeburg. This party congress has the potential to shape the political landscape in the country sustainably. In the future, the BSW would like to enable the establishment of regional associations through a change of statutes. The members want to expand their structures and prepare optimally for the 2026 state election. Co-chairman Thomas Schulze, 60 years old and employee in an asylum seeker recording facility, emphasizes how important it is that the citizens clearly recognize what the party stands for. The younger party leader John Lucas Dittrich, a 21-year-old student, brings a breath of fresh air to the leadership of the BSw.

During the party congress in Magdeburg, it turns out that the members of the BSW are still relatively unknown in public. Your website signals that the personnel ceiling in the future district associations is rather thin. The same group is registered in particular in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld, Dessau-Roßlau and Wittenberg districts. In the Salzlandkreis, on the other hand, it looks better: here is Bianca Görke, which is active for the BSW in the city council and district council, a load -bearing figure.

goals and topics of the BSW

A central point of the party convention will be the definition of the key points for the election program. The BSW is primarily known for its peace demands. Seven working groups were set up to work on various topics and to set a clear course for the upcoming elections.

The municipal issues in particular are close to the heart of Görke. She emphasizes that the funds from the infrastructure package must not seep away from the country. Another important concern of Thomas Schulze concerns education: he is convinced that the educational success should not depend on the wallet and speaks decisively against the use of iPads in primary schools. Even if the final election program is only determined at the end of the year, the preparations are already in full swing.

The political situation in Saxony-Anhalt

The upcoming elections next year are to be regarded as directional for Saxony-Anhalt. Current surveys show that the BSW received 11 percent of the vote in the Bundestag election, but according to the latest trends, the value is currently only 8 percent - a decrease of 6 percent in the last 30 days. In the current election trend, the CDU is shown as a clear tip with 34 percent, followed by the AfD with 30 percent. The left, on the other hand, has a slight upswing and comes to 11 percent, while the SPD has only 7 percent. Even if the BSW is still relatively small compared to other parties, it strives to take on a central role in Saxony-Anhalt, since trust in the established parties seems to be waning.

Nevertheless, the way will not be easy. In order to move into parliament, the BSW must overcome the 5%hurdle, which is a real challenge in view of the current election trend. In 442 days, on September 6, 2026, it will be shown whether the strategic steps of the BSW are fruiting and whether they can establish themselves as a serious player in the political landscape of Saxony-Anhalt. As the developments show, there is a lot and the voters are more in demand than ever.

The future of the BSW therefore depends on how successfully you can lay the foundation for the upcoming elections on June 21. Will you manage to step out of public anonymity and convey a clear picture of your goals and values ​​to the citizens? An exciting race is imminent!
