**The "No" outcome at 66.5% reflects the persistence of Germany’s political firewall (Brandmauer), under which all major parties continue to rule out coalitions with the AfD despite its strong polling in eastern states.** Upcoming September 2026 elections in Saxony-Anhalt (Sept. 6), Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and Berlin represent the clearest near-term opportunities, with AfD support at 41-42% in Saxony-Anhalt polls—enough for a potential outright majority if smaller parties fall below the 5% threshold, but short of certainty and without coalition options. Recent local parliamentary analyses confirm the firewall’s stability at the municipal level, while federal and state officials have prepared containment measures for any AfD-led administration. Traders thus price a low probability of AfD entering government this year absent a decisive absolute majority or sudden policy shift by other parties.

This is not trading advice and plays no role in how this market resolves. · UpdatedA party is considered part of a state government if it provides at least one Minister in that state's government, including the Minister-President. In the city-states of Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen, a party is considered part of the state government if it provides at least one Senator, including the Governing Mayor, First Mayor or President of the Senate.
A state government is considered formed when the state parliament elects the Minister-President (or, in the city-states, the Governing Mayor, First Mayor or President of the Senate) and that government has formally taken office. Coalition agreements, ministerial nominations, or announced coalition negotiations will not qualify on their own.
Parties that merely support a state government (e.g., through confidence-and-supply arrangements, parliamentary support agreements, toleration agreements, or similar) without holding a Minister or Senator post will not qualify.
If the AfD is not part of any German state government by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”.
This market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting. In case of ambiguity, this market will resolve based on official information published by the relevant state government and state parliament.
