Hüskens: We must not ignore the topic of migration - FDP names Hüskens and Silbersack as 2026 Saxony-Anhalt election leaders
The Free Democratic Party (FDP) in Saxony-Anhalt has announced its lead candidates for the 2026 state election. Lydia Hüskens, the party's state chair, and Andreas Silbersack, the parliamentary group leader, will both run. Recent polls show the FDP struggling to reach the five-percent threshold needed to enter parliament.
Lydia Hüskens has led the state party since July 2021 and is seeking re-election as the FDP's lead candidate. She supports skilled immigration and individual asylum claims but opposes immigration into the welfare system. The FDP, under her leadership, is addressing migration in its election campaign, aiming to win over voters with a pragmatic approach. The party plans to focus on cutting red tape and reforming social security systems.
Andreas Silbersack, the parliamentary group leader and deputy state chair, also plans to stand as a candidate. The next state election is scheduled for September 6, 2026. Despite recent polls showing the FDP below the five-percent threshold, the party remains optimistic about its chances in the USA.
