The Third Choice for Saxony-Anhalt – or: How to Turn an Emergency Solution and a Repeat Election into the “Best Choice”


Imagine this: Two men pose in front of the camera. One points a finger at the other, as if he has just discovered the solution to all of Saxony-Anhalt’s problems. The man being pointed at grins. Beneath them, in large letters: “The best choice for Saxony-Anhalt. Sven Schulze.”



You could laugh. You should laugh. Because what is being presented here as a triumphant succession looks suspiciously like a political emergency operation covered in a layer of PR gloss.

Let’s briefly remember: In 2021, Reiner Haseloff (CDU) needed two rounds of voting to become Minister-President again. Not one. Two! The “best choice” back then first had to sit through a second round before finally getting through – and thus became the second choice. Much like the much-loved Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz – he too failed to secure the necessary majority in the first round and could only become Chancellor with the votes of the Left Party.

And now, years later, Reiner Haseloff points to Sven Schulze and declares him the supposedly “best choice.” As if he had learned from the double round and decided: Next time, let’s just go straight for the third option from the outset.

Sven Schulze. Installed in January 2026. Even though Haseloff had previously insisted that he would not end his term early. One knows this from politics: Promises are like election posters – colorful, large, and in the end often nothing more than waste paper. Suddenly, the term of office could be shortened after all, and voilà: The new CDU man was there, grinning, while the old one pointed at him as if this had all been the plan from the very beginning.

“The best choice” – a slogan that, in this context, almost comes across as cynical. Perhaps the best choice would have been not to get into a situation where a successor has to be installed overnight in the first place. Perhaps the best choice would have been to get through the 2021 vote on the first attempt. Perhaps the best choice would have been to take one’s own words – “I’m staying until the end” – seriously.

Instead, the citizens of Saxony-Anhalt are now being presented with the poster of the “third choice”: First the repeat election in 2021, then the premature personnel decision in 2025/26 – and now the advertising campaign pretending that all of this was a smooth, brilliant plan from the start. Haseloff points. Schulze grins. The poster lies with a smile.

You could put it another way: If the “best choice” is the third one, that says quite a lot about the candidate and the quality of the decisions that came before him. Saxony-Anhalt has seen better days – and better posters. But hey: At least one of them is grinning. That’s something, too.
