The co-leaders of Germany’s right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel, have agree that Weidel will run as the candidate for chancellor in next year’s federal election campaign.<\/p>\n
However, this is so far only an agreement between the two co-leaders, Stephan Brandner, an AfD member of the Bundestag, told dpa. This must now be confirmed by the party’s committees.<\/p>\n
The Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland news outlet had previously reported that the federal executive committee and the federal-state conference plan vote on the selection at the beginning of December.<\/p>\n
Weidel is not expected to be officially placed in the role until early next year.<\/p>\n
The next federal election in Germany will be held in September 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
