In Saxony‑Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has leveraged TikTok’s viral reach to galvanize a new wave of support, propelling the party into a position that could see it win a state governorship for the first time since the end of World War II. Analysts warn that a far‑right administration would reshape local policy and could embolden similar movements across Germany. The surge has sparked intense debate over the role of social media in political mobilization and the potential erosion of democratic norms. As election day approaches, observers are closely monitoring how the AfD’s online strategy translates into real‑world power.
