German state election could see far-right party take power

Saxony-Anhalt holds a state election on Sunday, with the far-right AfD polling around 40-42% and potentially achieving an absolute majority. A win would be the first far-right state government since the Nazi era and would give the party influence in the Bundesrat. Chancellor Merz faces a significant setback if the AfD succeeds.
