Power Struggle Within the Alternative for Germany Party

Political scientist Oliver Lemke has analyzed the current power dynamics at the AfD party congress. According to him, Alice Weidel has emerged as the dominant figure, while Björn Höcke has gained influence. Lemke describes the relationship between Weidel and Höcke as purely tactical, indicating a strategic alliance that could potentially influence the future direction of the party. The dynamics between these two leadership figures could be crucial for the AfD as they seek to solidify their positions within the party while also expanding their voter base.
