Right-Wing Party Makes Strong Showing in German Elections
Early poll results from Sunday's vote show the AfD had the best showing for a far-right party in decades, taking third place.
Chancellor Angela Merkel is in position to rule for a fourth term, according to early exit polls in Germany's national election, which also saw voters send the right-wing Alternative for Germany party (AfD) to Germany's parliament, the Bundestag.
German media characterized the results of Sunday's vote, AfD is the "first overtly right-wing party to win seats in the country's federal parliament in over half a century."
