Germany's snap federal election on Sunday is expected to witness high voter turnout, with incumbent Chancellor Olaf Scholz facing significant opposition from Friedrich Merz's CDU and Alice Weidel's far-right AfD party. Final preparations are ongoing, with polls indicating CDU might lead with 30% support, while AfD could secure around 20%. Scholz's SPD trails at 16%, with Greens' Habeck at 13%.
