The far right has won again in Germany's regional elections, but the Social Democrats are close behind as the second largest party, according to exit polls.

Regional elections held in Germany have yielded divergent results according to initial exit polls. In one regional contest, the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has reportedly secured a victory, with the Social Democrats trailing closely as the second-largest political force. Simultaneously, separate projections for the Berlin regional elections indicate a victory for The Left party, which is currently polling between 24% and 25.8% of the vote.

The results highlight a fragmented political landscape across different German regions. While the AfD continues to demonstrate electoral growth in some areas, the performance of established parties like the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) remains a point of focus in the ongoing vote tallies.
