Alice Elisabeth Weidel (German: [aˈliːs eˈliːzabɛt ˈvaɪdl̩]; born 6 February 1979) is a German far-right[1][2][3] politician who has been serving as co-chairwoman of the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party alongside Tino Chrupalla since June 2022.[4] Since October 2017, she has held the position of leader of the AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag.
Weidel became a member of the Bundestag (MdB) in the 2017 federal election, where she was the AfD's lead candidate alongside Alexander Gauland.[5] In the 2021 federal election, she once again served as their lead candidate, alongside Tino Chrupalla.[6] From February 2020 to July 2022, Weidel held the position of chairwoman of the AfD state association in Baden-Württemberg.[7] In 2024, she was selected as her party's candidate for Chancellor in the 2025 German federal election.
