******* far-right heading for vote win in east

Germany’s anti-immigration party Alternative for Germany is on course for victory in the eastern state of Thuringia, according to an exit poll.

The AfD is set to win 30.5% of the vote, says the exit poll for public broadcaster ARD, six points ahead of the ************* CDU, and far in front of Germany’s three governing parties.

If confirmed, it would give the far right its first vote win in a state parliament since World War Two, although it is unlikely to be able to form a government in Thuringia.

Some five million Germans were eligible to vote in two state elections in the east on Sunday. The AfD is also close behind the ************* CDU in the election for a state parliament in Saxony.

The ARD exit poll gives the CDU 31.5% and the AfD 30% in Saxony, again far ahead of the three parties running the national government.

The AfD’s top candidate in Thuringia, Björn Höcke, is a highly controversial figure in Germany.

His party has been designated as right-wing extremist and he has been fined for using a ***** slogan, although the former history teacher denies knowingly doing so.
