Background: Party structures in Ostthüringen
The AfD district association Gera–Jena–Saale-Holzlandkreis covers a vast geographical area in eastern Thüringen. Through the organizational merger of the two independent cities of Jena and Gera with the strongly rural Saale-Holzland-Kreis, the party structure bundles political work for demographically and economically very different areas. District associations of this size serve in political practice to ensure a nationwide organizational structure for local, state, and federal elections, as well as the support of local members.
