In the recent elections in Frankfurt an der Oder, Axel Strasser, an independent candidate, obtained 69.8% of the votes, defeating Wilko Moller from AfD, who had 30.2%. This victory prevents AfD from achieving its first victory in urban areas. Voter turnout was 49.4%. Political scientists warned that an AfD victory would have sent a strong signal about the party's success in cities, in the context of a tense political atmosphere.
