Members of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party have been re-elected Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel for another term as joint party leader.
Both faced no opposition in their bid for another two-year term.
Chrupalla received 82.72% of the votes, a significantly better result than at the last party congress two years ago, when he received only 53.4% of AfD delegates.
“I’m really a bit overwhelmed,” Chrupalla said after his election. Chrupalla, a craftsman from the eastern state of Saxony, has been co-chairman of the AfD since November 2019.
Weidel’s election result was slightly weaker than Chrupalla’s: she received 79.77% of the vote, compared to 67.3% two years ago, when she was first elected party leader.
