Co-leaders of Germany's far-right AfD re-elected by party delegates

Members of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) have re-elected Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel to another term of joint party leadership.

Both faced no opposition in their bid for another two-year term.

Chrupalla received 82.72% of the vote, a significantly better result than at the last party conference two years ago, when he received only 53.4% from AfD delegates.

“I’m really a bit overwhelmed,” Chrupalla said after his election. A craftsman from the eastern state of Saxony, Chrupalla has been a co-chairman of the AfD since November 2019.

Weidel’s election result was slightly weaker than Chrupalla’s: she received 79.77% of the vote, compared to the 67.3% two years ago when she was first elected to the party’s leadership.

Tino Chrupalla (R), Federal Chairman of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), is pleased after his re-election as spokesman of the board at the AfD's federal party conference in the Grugahalle in Essen next to Alice Weidel, Federal Chairman of the AfD. At the two-day party conference, the AfD plans to elect a new federal executive committee, among other things. Numerous organizations have announced opposition to the meeting and more than a dozen counter-demonstrations.
