Exit polls predict that AfD has won the regional election in Thuringia and is neck-and-neck with the Christian Democrats in Saxony.

Right-wing anti-globalist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has won its first regional election in Germany, taking between 30.5% and 33.5% of the vote in the former East German state of Thuringia, exit polls showed on Sunday.

The party is also neck-and-neck with the conservative CDU for first place in the state of Saxony, which also held a regional election on Sunday, the polls showed.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats (SPD) meanwhile looked to have scored a disappointing result in both states of between 6.5% and 8.5%.
