mathrubhumi.com (Malayalam)

Germany's far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) won a historic state election in Saxony-Anhalt with 44% of the vote, the first such victory since World War II. The party fell short of an absolute majority and has ruled out a coalition with the far-left Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), which won 5%. AfD's campaign focused on anti-immigration and economic discontent. Critics accuse AfD of lacking clear development plans and promoting hate politics. The traditional CDU party secured only 18.4% of the vote.
