Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is gaining momentum ahead of two key state elections scheduled for Sunday in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The AfD, which recently achieved its best-ever result in the Saxony-Anhalt elections, is seen as a major contender in these upcoming votes. According to France24, the party's rising popularity is posing a challenge for Chancellor Friedrich Merz, with both elections expected to test his leadership. Meanwhile, Deutsche Welle reports that despite its electoral success, the AfD remains reluctant to form a governing coalition, raising questions about its political strategy. With the AfD's anti-immigration stance resonating with certain voter groups, the upcoming elections are being closely watched as a potential indicator of the party's continued influence in German politics.
