German chancellor's Social Democrats seek to hold off far right in Brandenburg state election
Briefly

Brandenburg's state election is critical for the political future of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, with the far-right Alternative for Germany posing a significant challenge to the Social Democrats.
Polling indicates that the Alternative for Germany is running neck-and-neck with the long-standing governing Social Democrats, which raises concerns about future stability and governance in Germany.
If the Social Democrats lose control in Brandenburg, it would signal potential trouble for Olaf Scholz’s coalition government, given the upcoming federal elections in 2025.
This election is a barometer for Germany's political direction, especially as right-wing support continues to rise amid concerns about governance and social issues.
