The upcoming Brandenburg state election is being described as a pivotal moment for the region's political landscape.

Antje Töpfer, the lead candidate for the Green Party, has labeled it a "decision election," reflecting the significant choices voters face about the future direction of their state.

The Green Party, currently part of the ruling coalition, is struggling to surpass the 5% threshold needed to remain in the state parliament, with recent polls placing them at around 4%.

Meanwhile, the competition for the majority is primarily between the AfD and SPD, with the AfD slightly ahead.

The AfD's controversial status as a right-wing extremist suspect by the state intelligence service adds tension to the race.

The election outcome could reshape Brandenburg's political scene, as the Greens and other smaller parties like the Left Party and Free Voters risk losing their parliamentary presence.
