upcoming State Election in Rhineland-Palatinate: AfD Leader Bollinger Scéked as Top Candidate
Rhineland-Palatinate state election: Bollinger, leader of the AfD, chosen as primary candidate - Rhineland-Palatinate Landtag Elections: Bollinger, AfD leader, selected as primary candidate
Get ready for the state election in Rhineland-Palatinate on March 22, 20xx! The ruling SPD is planning to nominate Minister President Alexander Schweitzer (SPD) for their top spot, while the opposition CDU will stick with party leader Gordon Schnieder. The Greens have already picked Environment Minister Katrin Eder for their state list's top position. As for the remaining parties, they've yet to pick their leaders.
Recent polls predict the CDU could win the election, edging out the SPD. According to the Infratest dimap institute survey in June, the CDU received 30%, followed closely by the SPD at 23%. The AfD stood at 17%, with the Greens at 11%.
The Left is showing signs of potentially entering the state parliament for the first time, if polling stays the course. Currently, the FDP risks failing to clear the five percent hurdle with their 3% support. The Free Voters, currently represented in the Mainz state parliament, might also fall below the five percent threshold with 4%. The BSW is also expected to miss the mark.

National and Regional Polling Trends
Based on recent polls, expect the CDU to lead the election, followed by the AfD and SPD. The Greens, FDP, and Die Linke might also enter the parliament.
Regional Factors
- FDP: Historically performs lower than 5% in state elections. If national trends hold, the FDP will struggle to break the five percent barrier.
- BSW: This new party has yet to gain significant traction and is currently below the five percent threshold nationally. In Rhineland-Palatinate, local factors could influence their chances, but they're still at risk of missing the mark.
- Other parties: Smaller or niche parties usually fail to clear the 5% hurdle unless they have strong local support or are established.
For the most accurate forecast, Rhineland-Palatinate-specific state election polling is needed. However, trends from national and regional polls provide a rough idea of the parties' prospects in the election.
The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, given the upcoming State Election in Rhineland-Palatinate, where politics and policy-and-legislation will play a significant role in determining the future of the region. Jan Bollinger, the AfD leader, has been scheduled as the top candidate for his party in this general news event.
