  • According to Sophie Schönberger, the AfD campaign was largely financed with parliamentary-group funds; statewide civic dialogues apparently supported it.

  • The party law bans parliamentary-group donations to parties; concealed financing can invalidate an election, Schönberger said.

  • Fabian Michl sees a possible electoral error, while Christoph Möllers is skeptical about a rerun due to missing criteria.

  • Eligible voters may object until one month after results appear in the Ministerial Gazette; the state election authority expects publication shortly.
  • The AfD's campaign in Saxony-Anhalt was largely financed from faction funds. That was obviously illegal and could, as a consequence, lead to the Landtag election being successfully challenged.
    — Sophie Schönberger, in an interview with the news magazine Spiegel

  • The NUM’s highest decision-making body decided at its meeting in Pretoria from August 5 to 7, 2026, to prepare legal action against President Cyril Ramaphosa and the state.

  • Ramaphosa endorsed the Phase I report in July 2026, clearing the way for an independent, state-owned Transmission System Operator (TSO) to separate Eskom’s transmission business.

  • According to the report, Eskom chairperson Mteto Nyati warned against rushing the separation because transmission accounts for about 40% of the balance sheet and roughly R100 billion in NTCSA assets would be transferred; Baloyi agreed.

  • The NUM is consulting its lawyers and plans to meet them next week to determine further steps and seek a court ruling on whether the Presidency had authority to establish the task team.
  • Politicians must leave Eskom alone, leave it to technocrats to run it.

  • The proposed FIFA Forward Enterprise was intended to manage the commercial and operational sides of competitions, including the men's and women's World Cups, with 20% to be sold to private investors.

  • UEFA said its member nations would boycott FIFA events, while CONCACAF rejected the plan, the AFC called for an urgent governance review and CONMEBOL sought additional information.

  • The plans led to the resignation of senior adviser Carlos Cordeiro, while FIFA chief operating officer Kevin Lamour portrayed the initiative as being driven by one person.

  • Infantino said he intended to reunite the parties involved in the coming days and weeks, while the AFC welcomed the withdrawal and called for consultation and dialogue with football bodies.
  • This was an outrageous suggestion. The idea that it could even be brought forward shows that, in my view, (Infantino) is the wrong man to lead the organisation.
    — Andy Burnham, UK Prime Minister, said on Friday in response to FIFA's private-investment proposal for the World Cup.
