Post-election

Georg Milbradt (CDU), losing his absolute majority, had to form a grand coalition with the SPD to remain in office as Prime Minister.



Notably, the far-right NPD received two more votes in the ballot for Prime Minister than it had members. It is presumed that two CDU Landtag members must have backed the NPD leadership.

Saxony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1717 words)
Saxony shares borders with, from the east and clockwise, Poland, the Czech Republic and the German states of Bavaria, Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt and Brandenburg.
The main axis of Saxony is the Elbe river, crossing the state from southeast to northwest.
Saxony also includes a small part of previous Silesia west of the town of Görlitz which remained German after the war and which for obvious reasons of unviability as a separate state was incorporated into Saxony.
