Germany's far-right AfD bids for first taste of power in eastern vote

Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is competing in elections in Saxony-Anhalt with the potential to secure state-level power for the first time since World War Two. An outright majority victory would mark a significant political shift in Germany and represent a historic milestone for the far-right movement in the country. This election represents a critical moment for German politics as voters decide whether to grant the AfD governing authority at the state level.
