In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, SPD candidate Manuela Schwesig is preparing for a critical state election scheduled for September 20. Polling indicates a competitive race, with AfD candidate Leif-Erik Holm holding a three-percentage-point lead. The election results will decide whether a red-red coalition remains viable or if alternative government structures, potentially including the Greens, are formed to block an AfD-led administration.
