AfD leads in MV: Greifswald will be the hottest constituency in 2026!
In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the political landscape is becoming increasingly exciting before the state elections in September 2026. While the AfD is clearly leading in the polls, extremely exciting races are emerging in constituency 1, which includes Greifswald.

The SPD is sending Interior Minister Christian Pegel into the race, the Left is relying on its state chairman Hennis Herbst and the CDU is nominating Torsten Heil, who is previously known as the office manager of Bundestag member Philipp Amthor.
The polls show a clear picture: the AfD is currently at 38%, like Politpro reported. This number is not only the result of political efforts, but also a sign of the growing popularity among the population.

The coming months until the election in September 2026 will be crucial. It remains to be seen whether the AfD can continue to build on its successes or whether the other parties will bring about a turnaround with their candidates and strategies.
