Weidel elected AfD top candidate-protests in Ulm!
In a crucial step for the alternative for Germany (AfD), Alice Weidel was elected with an overwhelming majority as the top candidate of the Baden-Württemberg state association for the Bundestag election 2025. At a establishment assembly in Ulm, the Co-chairman of the AfD received almost 87 percent of the votes cast, which demonstrated its strong support within the party. Co-state chairman Markus Frohnmaier also joined and was nominated in second place on the state list with an approval of almost 82 percent, where he is already active as a member of the Bundestag.
Weidel and her co-chair Tino Chrupalla have agreed that Weidel should compete as a candidate for chancellor, even if she has not yet been officially nominated. This agreement shows the continued influence of the two leading heads within the party while they are preparing for the upcoming elections.

At the same time, there was also a strong resistance to the AfD meeting in Ulm. According to police, around 2,000 people demonstrated against the meeting in the fair, which is a sign of the controversy that surround the party. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution observes the AfD as a right -wing suspicion and some state associations have already been classified as proven right -wing extremist. The protests were organized by an alliance for democracy and diversity and reflect the negative attitude of many citizens towards the AfD.
The events in Ulm and the decision of the AfD to choose Weidel as top candidate are only the latest expression of the complex dynamics within this political movement. The AfD faces both internal and external challenges while preparing for the 2025 federal election.
