Weidel and Höcke consolidate power over AfD after Erfurt party congress

Following the AfD federal congress in Erfurt, Alice Weidel and Björn Höcke, along with their allies, now dominate the party's executive board. Tino Chrupalla suffered a significant setback in his re-election bid and may be looking toward Saxony's 2029 election. Strategist Sebastian Münzenmaier's network was key to Weidel's success, projecting a moderate external image while the party radicalises internally. AfD has the lowest share of women of any party in the Bundestag at just 12%.
