The far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has set its sights on rallying support from other parliamentary groups and individual lawmakers. This move follows a significant electoral victory in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, according to AfD candidate Ulrich Siegmund.

Siegmund stated on Monday that discussions with these groups are underway to determine if there is potential backing for AfD in their ambitious governance endeavors within the state's parliament.
