Angela Merkel's Bavarian Allies Suffer Worst Election Results Since 1950
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Bavarian allies suffered their worst election result since 1950 on Sunday, bleeding votes to the far-right ...
The result, which saw ... the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) enter the state assembly for the first time, means the CSU will need to form a coalition.
The Bavarian election is followed in two weeks by another test for Merkel’s conservative alliance: her CDU is likely to remain the largest party but lose votes in an election in the western state of Hesse, home to the financial centre of Frankfurt.
The CDU then holds its annual congress in December, when Merkel will seek re-election as party chairwoman.
