Saxony-Anhalt's Left Party Sets Course for 2026 State Election - Saxony-Anhalt’s Left Party names Eva von Angern as 2026 election frontrunner
The Left Party in Saxony-Anhalt is preparing for the 2026 state election, set for September 6. The party conference will outline their policy platform and nominate their top candidate, Eva von Angern, who has been a state parliamentarian since 2002 and leads the party's parliamentary group since 2020.
The nomination of Eva von Angern as the top candidate will occur on Saturday, February 11, at 10:00 AM in Leuna. Recent polls place the Left Party in a strong position, consistently ranking third behind the AfD and the CDU. An early September poll by Infratest dimap put the Left Party at 13 percent, while an October survey by Insa showed them at 11 percent. Despite trailing the AfD, which leads the polls with 40 percent, and the CDU at 26 percent, the Left Party's double-digit figures indicate a competitive stance ahead of the election.
With Eva von Angern as their top candidate and a clear policy platform, the Left Party aims to strengthen its position in the 2026 state election. The party's recent poll numbers suggest a potential challenge to the dominant AfD and CDU parties in Saxony-Anhalt.
