The AfD Thuringia is the Thuringian state chapter of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD). The state chapter is led by Björn Höcke and Stefan Möller as state chairmen and has been classified as confirmed right-wing extremist by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution. With Höcke as its lead candidate, the state party first ran in the 2014 state elections and subsequently entered the Thuringian state parliament. In the 2021 federal election, the AfD ran in Thuringia with Stephan Brandner as its lead candidate. Again with Höcke as its lead candidate, the AfD became the second-strongest party in the 2019 state election, entering the state parliament with 22 representatives. In the 2024 state election, again with Björn Höcke as its lead candidate, the Alternative for Germany became the strongest party in a German federal state for the first time. In March 2021, the AfD Thuringia was classified as "proven right-wing extremist" by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, which sees it as an "effort against the free democratic basic order."
