Ulrich Siegmund draws thousands to campaign event in Quedlinburg

AfD top candidate Ulrich Siegmund drew thousands of supporters to Quedlinburg during a campaign event. Siegmund, known for his social media presence, arrived on a blue Simson moped to large crowds of cheering spectators.

In contrast to the high energy surrounding the AfD candidate, the CDU's campaign efforts in Saxony-Anhalt appeared to struggle with mobilization. Minister President and CDU top candidate Sven Schulze held an event in Tangermünde that saw significantly lower attendance, with observers noting a lack of the momentum displayed by his opponent.
