The extreme improbability
Factors:
Tight time frame of the two waves
Restricted pool of all candidates
Age-specific probability of death
Above-average health of political candidates.
Tight geographical cluster
German economist, Stefan Homburg
“statistically virtually impossible”

AfD deputy leader (MP)
Stephan Brandner “statistically striking and difficult to explain at the moment”.
“I’ve never heard of politicians from a party dying in such a short period of time before an election,”
Statistical anomaly noted
The cluster of six deaths within a short period,
concentrated on one party,
The probability of at least four deaths is approximately 0,0000127 or 0,00127% (1 in 78.740)

Wave 1 (July / early August)
Opposition candidates
FDP, UWG, Party for Animal Protection, Free Voters, Voter Group SG Zukunft.
Observation: 5 deaths in approx. 3 weeks.
Wave 2 (mid/late August to 1 September)
Almost exclusively AfD – Seitz, Klinger, Berendes, Lange, Herford, Tietze
(plus Uwe Philippsen / list “Volksabstimmung”).
Observation: 7 deaths in approx. 3 weeks.
G Frei News analysis

Final result after the healthy-candidate effect
Wave 1 (opposition, ≥ 5):
1 : 5,809
Wave 2 (AfD, ≥ 6):
1 : 247,351
Two waves in sequence:
1 : 1,437,176,086
Short form: ≈ 1 : 1.44 billion
This means the double cluster clearly lies in the billion range of improbability. That precisely explains why comparable cases (e.g., “four deaths before an election”) are virtually never documented historically.
These deaths have disrupted the electoral process, invalidating ballots in affected districts and requiring reprints and new nominations.
