  • The election in Saxony-Anhalt has become a closely contested race, with the far-right AfD holding a strong lead in opinion polls.

Saxony-Anhalt’s election has turned into a political thriller, with Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, appearing to hold a strong lead in the polls.
