Saxony-Anhalt before the election: CDU candidate Schulze in focus!
Exciting developments are emerging in the political landscape of Saxony-Anhalt. In the most recent episode of the “Markus Lanz” program on November 4, 2025, which lasted an impressive 74 minutes, the upcoming political competition in the region was discussed. Reiner Haseloff, the Prime Minister of Saxony-Anhalt, has established himself as a clear counterpoint to the AfD for over 14 years. Given the upcoming state elections, which will take place in September 2026, many see the election as an important test of sentiment for the future of German politics.
Sven Schulze, Saxony-Anhalt's economics minister, was recently elected as the CDU's top candidate. During the conversation, he said that many citizens in Saxony-Anhalt rate the work of the state government as consistently positive. Nevertheless, says Schulze, it cannot be denied that federal policy has a decisive influence on people's opinions. The next election could result in a three-party parliament, with the SPD and BSW at risk of entering the state parliament.
Coalition prospects and exclusions
Schulze has emphasized that he will under no circumstances enter into a coalition with the Left or the AfD. This statement is important because it shows where the political boundaries lie for the CDU. Anne Hähnig, a journalist, asked critical questions on the show about the CDU's dealings with the left and pointed out existing cooperation models. It remains to be seen whether these issues will influence voters.
A crucial issue in this debate is the possible uncertainty among the population. “New elections are out of the question,” Schulze made clear and assured that regular elections would take place. According to Schulze, Saxony-Anhalt should not become an “experimental country” for the AfD - a statement that is intended to give security to many in the region. The views and strategies of Schulze and his party could be decisive for voters and have a lasting influence on the political course of state politics.
The upcoming election will therefore be dominated by the decisions that will now be made. It is clear to everyone that decisions are being made here not only about Saxony-Anhalt, but also about the future of the political landscape in Germany. We can only hope that there is room for constructive dialogue between the lines of political rhetoric and that voters take their place in this process.
