German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been re-elected to a fourth term in federal elections, polls suggest.
Its conservative CDU alliance. CSU won 32.5% of the vote, remaining the largest party in Germany's parliament, reported according to the German media survey “ARD”
Its coalition partner, SPD or Social Democrats have won 20%, “reported. BBC”, report Periscope.
Meanwhile, AfD, the anti-Islamic nationalist rightist party, was on track to win 13.5%, emerging as Germany's third strongest party.
These figures mean that the SPD, led by Martin Schulz, has fallen to a new level after World War II.
The AfD '% performance, better than what public opinion forecasts predicted, means that the far-right party will have a seat in Bundestag for the first time.
Merkel will now have to seek new coalition partners a process that may last several months./Periscopi/
