Despite narrow state election win, what are Chancellor Scholz’s political prospects? DW News

Germany’s Social Democrats have pulled off a narrow election win in the eastern state of Brandenburg. Polls had given the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) the edge. But in a record turnout, voters gave the most support to the ruling SPD, the party of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, which gained 30.9% over the AfD’s 29.2%. A victory more so for the Chancellor’s party, less so for the chancellor himself. Nevertheless, Social Democrat state premier Dietmar Woidke said the AfD’s gains were alarming.
