Voters in Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt state headed to the polls on Sunday in an election closely watched as a test of support for Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his Christian Democratic Union (CDU). Pre-election surveys showed the Alternative for Germany (AfD) holding a substantial lead, with many voters citing dissatisfaction over migration, the cost of living, energy policy and the performance of mainstream parties. An AfD victory would mark the first time the party becomes the largest force in the state parliament and could intensify debate over the rise of right-wing populism in Germany. #afd #germany #germanyelection #germanpolitics #friedrichmerz #cdu #saxonyanhalt #election2026 #far right #afdgermany #migration #politics #europe #europenews #breakingnews #worldnews #voters #germanynews #elections #politicalnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: ht
