The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) parliamentary group in the state parliament of the German state of Saxony-Anhalt has decided to boycott the vote if the "Alternative for Germany" (AfD) representative Ulrich Sigmund puts forward his candidacy for the post of prime minister. This is reported by the publication BILD.
According to press reports, CDU MPs intend to leave the meeting hall during the voting. This step is aimed at completely ruling out any suspicions of covert support for the candidate from the right-wing party.
At the parliamentary group meeting, the decision was adopted with 14 votes in favour and one abstention. Group leader Sven Schulze noted that the Christian Democrats would not participate in the first two rounds of voting. However, their position regarding a possible third round has not yet been determined.
The trigger for this decision was incidents during the previous election of the state parliament speaker. At that time, the AfD candidate received four more votes than the total number of mandates held by the AfD and "Sara Wagenknecht Alliance" parliamentary groups. This gave rise to the assumption that some CDU MPs may have secretly supported the right-wing candidate. Meanwhile, as noted, the available data in itself does not constitute direct evidence of such support.
Ulrich Sigmund plans to put forward his candidacy for the post of prime minister in December. To win, he needs to secure at least 42 votes. Currently, the AfD parliamentary group holds only 39 mandates.
Representatives of the "Sara Wagenknecht Alliance" have already stated their intention to abstain from voting. This means that for the AfD candidate to achieve the necessary majority, he will need the support of at least three MPs from other parliamentary groups.
