[world politics news] 


The AfD Party has emerged as the clear victor in Thuringia, in the east of the country, securing almost a third of the vote. It was the first state won by the anti-immigrant party.

The Alternative For Germany Party was l9 points ahead of the center-Right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which garnered around 24%, and far ahead of Germany's three governing parties.

In neighboring Saxony, it finished only just behind the CDU, which leads the national opposition.

The election outcomes underscore a deepening discontent with Chancellor Olaf Scholz's left-leaning  government, which has been mired in unpopularity and internal conflicts.
