How Elon Musk's favourite party AfD performed in 2025 German election

IndiaTimes Monday, 24 February 2025 ()
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved a historic breakthrough in the 2025 German elections, securing around 20.8% of the vote and becoming the second-largest party. The far-right, anti-immigration party performed strongest in eastern Germany and gained youth support. Elon Musk and US Vice President JD Vance endorsed AfD, amplifying its influence. Despite its success, AfD remains politically isolated, as mainstream parties refuse coalition deals. CDU leader Friedrich Merz ruled out cooperation, citing major policy differences. Alice Weidel eyes 2029 leadership, but legal scrutiny, mass protests, and extremist ties continue to challenge AfD’s long-term governance ambitions.
