Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is positioned to secure a historic electoral victory in an upcoming state election, potentially taking power in one of the country's 16 states for the first time.
Heading into Sunday's vote in Saxony-Anhalt with a sizeable lead in the polls, the party is within reach of an outright majority. If achieved, this outcome would place the far right in charge of a German state government for the first time since World War II.
