AfD co-leaders Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel have shown signs of discord over the party's potential chancellor candidacy for the 2025 German federal election.

In separate summer interviews, Chrupalla expressed support for Weidel as a 'very good chancellor candidate,' while Weidel remained noncommittal, stating she could 'imagine many candidates.

' Despite their recent public displays of unity, insiders suggest a power struggle is brewing behind the scenes.

Chrupalla insisted there would be 'no power struggle,' but Weidel's assertive stance on issues like migration and her confidence in the AfD's performance in upcoming eastern state elections hint at her ambitions.

The final decision on the AfD's chancellor candidate will be made through a party conference or membership vote in the coming months.
