Local Elections 2026: Unified List Instead of Firewall

In Bichl, Bavaria, candidates from the AfD are joining a unified list with representatives of other parties for the local elections in 2026, a move seen as pragmatic to prevent worse outcomes.

In the small community of Bichl, located in the Bad TΓΆlz-Wolfratshausen district of Bavaria, a significant political shift is observable ahead of the upcoming local elections in 2026. A joint candidate list has been created that includes members of the right-wing AfD party alongside candidates from more established parties such as the CSU and the Free Voters. This unconventional alliance reflects a strategic decision by these parties to foster unity and potentially mitigate the risks of more extreme political outcomes, particularly as the AfD has been gaining traction.
