The AfD in Thuringia failed with a vote of distrust against Prime Minister Voigt from the CDU. In the state parliament in Erfurt, 33 MPs voted for AfD Group leader Höcke as new Prime Minister. 45 votes would have been needed to vote. Höcke had justified the vote of distrust with the decision of the Technical University of Chemnitz to withdraw Voigt's doctorate.
