Monday, September 25th., 2017 In Major Disappointment, Merkel Wins German Election Despite Worst Result Since 1949; AfD Surges To Enter Parliament
The German polls have officially closed, and the first exit
polls numbers come in, confirming the expected fourth victory for
Angela Merkel, however with a far lower than expected 32.5% of the
vote, while her main challenger, the SPD gets only 20%. What is
striking is the dramatic (late) surge for the nationalist AfD party,
which got a higher than expected 13.5% of the vote.
