Sahra Wagenknecht's new political alliance, the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), is rapidly gaining traction in East Germany ahead of the upcoming elections.
With polls indicating a potential 21% support, the BSW is positioning itself as a significant player, particularly in Saxony and Thüringen.
The party's focus on peace and grassroots engagement, such as hosting campaign events in local workshops, is resonating with voters.
This rise poses a challenge for established parties like the CDU, which may need to consider coalition options with Wagenknecht's group.
As the political landscape shifts, the BSW's emergence could reshape alliances and influence governance in the region.
