AfD Doubles Vote Share — Becomes Germany's Second-Largest Party

In the snap federal election forced by the Ampel collapse, the AfD roughly doubled its vote share from 10.4% (2021) to 20.8%, becoming the second-largest party in the Bundestag — its strongest result since the party's founding in 2013, and a direct culmination of a decade of unresolved regional inequality, the 2015 migration backlash, and public loss of confidence in mainstream governing competence.
