  • German market participants and political observers will be closely watching the regional election coming up in eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday 6 June as it provides the final electoral contest in the country before the federal election due in September.
  • Main Takeaways
    • Anything other than retaining first place in Saxony-Anhalt will be viewed as a failure for the CDU and its chancellor candidate Armin Laschet.
    • The right-wing nationalist AfD is on course to present a strong challenge to the CDU, but is very unlikely to be part of the next governing coalition.
    • The ability of the CDU to hold off the AfD could give an indication of how well the party might fare in eastern states with a strong AfD vote in the federal election due in September.
