He’s not elected directly, but via a list. That is, the party has a list of candidates and according to the number of seats they get in the election, the candidates fill in the seats.
Since the AfD was kind of on a rise and probably got more seats than candidates, they’ll put almost whoever on this list.
Interesting. My point still stands though. It’s crazy that a party would have a 22 year old on said list, and that anyone would support a party that has a list with 22 year olds on it.
Have looked into the AfD? They’re basically a party of rightwing self-victimizers, frustrated lowlifes and downright nazis. Their voters don’t care about facts or reality. Case in point: the current head of the party is a lesbian, married to an Indonesian woman living in Switzerland. This entire party is a contradiction in itself.
If you’re from the US, they’re maybe comparable to the MAGA crowd.
