Overview
- Rhineland‑Palatinate’s SPD unanimously put Minister‑President Alexander Schweitzer atop its list for the March 22 vote, paired with pledges for free schoolbooks and learning materials, driver’s‑licence relief for under‑25s, and a door‑to‑door push dubbed a “Haustürwahlkampf XXL.”
- Saxony‑Anhalt’s Greens chose co‑state leader Susan Sziborra‑Seidlitz for list position one with 83.5 percent, a move that follows polls placing the party below the five‑percent threshold ahead of the September 6 election.
- Berlin’s Greens selected a Graf/Jarasch duo with 81.7 percent, with Werner Graf positioned to run for governing mayor as parties finalize top tickets for the September 20 Abgeordnetenhaus vote.
- Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern’s AfD nominated co‑state leader Leif‑Erik Holm as candidate for minister‑president, referencing surveys around 38 percent support as the state heads to the polls on September 20.
- Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern’s Greens moved to re‑run their candidate list after internal disputes, with the state board promoting Claudia Müller and Ole Krüger as the preferred top two and a new vote planned for early 2026.
