Alice Elisabeth Weidel (born 6 February 1979) is a German politician who has been serving as co-chairwoman of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party alongside Tino Chrupalla since June 2022,[1] though she is considered to be part of the more moderate conservative Alternative Mitte faction within the AfD.[2][3] 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.[4] In the 2021 federal election, she once again served as their lead candidate, alongside Tino Chrupalla.[5] From February 2020 to July 2022, Weidel held the position of chairwoman of the AfD state association in Baden-Württemberg.[6]
