Merkel bids for fourth term as Germans head to the polls
Elections likely to see right-wing AfD win seats in parliament
24 September, 12:34
(ANSA) - BERLIN - Chancellor Angela Merkel is widely expected
to win a fourth term in office as Germans go to the polls. This
election is also likely to see the farthest right-wing party in
60 years, the anti-migrant Alternative for Germany (AfD), win
seats in parliament.
Merkel has campaigned on her record as chancellor for 12 years, emphasizing the country's record-low unemployment, strong economic growth, balanced budget and growing international importance. That's helped keep her conservative bloc well atop the polls ahead of Sunday's election over the center-left Social Democrats of challenger Martin Schulz.
