‘Can no longer be stopped’: AfD races towards historic win in Germany state vote

Voting is currently taking place in Saxony-Anhalt's vital state election, representing an important benchmark for the far-right AfD party. Latest surveys indicate they are notably ahead, with a chance to obtain a full majority, possibly leading to their first state governance since WWII. The results will be crucial in assessing Chancellor Friedrich Merz's approach to migration and security, with weeks of coalition talks likely if no party secures a majority.
