CDU Saxony-Anhalt power struggle erupts over AfD stance after electoral defeat

Following a poor election result in Saxony-Anhalt, CDU state leader Sven Schulze faces a confirmed leadership challenge from Sepp Müller, who has declared his candidacy for party leadership. This internal power struggle is reportedly centered on the CDU's stance towards the AfD, indicating significant strategic divisions within the party. The re-election of the state executive this fall will determine the future leadership and strategic direction.
