German exit polls suggest far-right party has big lead in regional election

Recent exit polls indicate that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is poised to take the lead in the Saxony-Anhalt regional election. This could pave the way for the first far-right state government since WWII. The AfD aims for an absolute majority to govern alone, as Chancellor Friedrich Merz's party, currently in power, is showing significant lagging in the votes.
