Ulrich Siegmund has been dubbed "the most dangerous man in Germany", he is a member of the far-right party Alternative for Deutschland (AfD).
The 35-year-old former perfume salesman, is on course to be elected as leader of the state of Saxony-Anhalt.
His victory would be the biggest win for a far-right party since the Second World War.
So who is he and what does the AfD stand for? And what would a state election win for the party mean for Germany and for Europe?
Niall is joined by Sky’s Europe’s correspondent Alistair Bunkall, who tracked down Siegmund at an AfD rally in Saxony-Anhalt.
