The "Plurality Paradox" in East Germany: Winning the most votes (e.g. AfD at 32.8%, 32 seats) does not grant automatic executive power. Under German state constitutions (Landesverfassungen), the Minister-President (Ministerpräsident) must be elected by an absolute majority of parliamentarians in early voting rounds. If mainstream democratic parties uphold the Brandmauer (CDU, SPD, BSW refusing far-right pacts), an AfD plurality produces an immediate governing stalemate unless a novel cross-spectrum alliance forms.
