Rhineland-Pfalz AfD Party leader Jan Bollinger has announced a tight election campaign for the SPD led by Prime Minister Alexander Schweitzer. “Together we will start a patriotic change in the West, and we will put the SPD in front of the State Chancellor’s office and we ourselves will move there,” Bollinger said at a state party conference in Bingen. To achieve this, the opposition party will “make every effort and carry out the best, most complex and most intensive election campaign in the history of our party”.
What points will the party use in the election
Four months before the state election AfD adopted their state election program in Bingen. Party and parliamentary group leader Bollinger is the party’s leading candidate on 22 March 2026.
“Now we will also talk about change entry, but important points will definitely be included in it,” he said in Bingen. Bollinger announced, among other things, “a real turnaround in migration with a comprehensive deportation offensive.” The party also wants to ensure “safe and affordable energy” “by ending expanded wind power subsidies and a full return to nuclear energy.”
Bollinger also sharply criticized the CDU. They “close themselves behind their firewalls.” The Christian Democrat Party must open itself to collaborating with the AfD. “Because everyone with more than five brain cells realizes that AfD politics, politics for Germany, and most importantly, the migration transition will only exist in our AfD.”
How many members the party country has
In Bingen, the party decided on “a road map that will take us to the state parliament and the state chancellery,” Bollinger said. “Only the AfD can save Germany and the Rhineland-Pfalz.” The party currently has nearly 5,000 members, an increase of 2,000 in the last year and a half.
In front of the conference venue, the “Buntes Bingen” alliance demonstrated against the AfD, among other things with chants and rainbow flags.
The party currently has 6 of the 101 representatives in the state parliament in Mainz. In the 2021 state election, he received 8.3 percent of the vote and nine seats. However, three MPs are now disengaged due to internal disputes.
At the June members’ party conference, AfD Mainz Bundestag member Sebastian Münzenmaier set 20 percent plus X as the state election target.
