16 Election Candidates Die In Germany (Photos) by Kaliningrad(op): 1:27pm On Sep 11, 2025

Officials in western 🇩🇪 Germany have sought to calm online speculation following the deaths of 16 candidates, including seven from a far-right party, in the run-up to a local election.

Voters will go to the polls on 14 September in North Rhine-Westphalia, the country’s most populous state.

However, online conspiracy theories have been running rife after the deaths of several candidates, including seven representing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AFD) party.

AfD co-leader, Alice Weidel, highlighted the initial deaths on social media with a post on X saying “4 AfD candidates died.”

However, Dr Martin Vincentz, a spokesperson for the North Rhine-Westphalia branch of the party, told Sky News the confirmed number had risen to seven.

In a statement, he said the AfD was saddened by the news but that, according to the information they had received so far, there was “currently no indication of unnatural deaths".

Some of those running had known pre-existing conditions.

In total, 16 candidates are believed to have died, with police already ruling out unnatural causes in four of the cases, according to the DPA news agency.

The seven AfD nominees were standing for election in a variety of districts and with confirmed ages between 59 and 80.


The far-right party is reported to be the only one that has had more than one candidate die.

In all districts where candidates have died, any completed postal ballots will need to be re-cast, local media said.

Ahead of the vote, a spokesman for the local election commission tried to dispel intense online speculation, telling the media that the number of deaths was "not significantly higher" than in previous campaigns.

🤡 "Beacons of Freedom and Democracy" 🤡

These are the people that constantly try to lecture us about democracy. I blame f00lish Africans for believing them.

If this happened in Russia, they would run the story 24/7, for the next 8 months.

But look how they quietly buried this one, so no one would know.

Re: 16 Election Candidates Die In Germany (Photos) by sakaba(m): 2:13pm On Sep 11, 2025
Confusing report.
Pls clarify
They died together or differently


"Not Unnatural causes". So natural

"Not higher than previous campaigns" So folks normally die or it's just anticipatory regulation.

Article says 4 people
Headline says 16 people

What going on here!
