A state election is set to take place in Brandenburg on Sunday, following recent gains by a far-right party in two other states in eastern Germany. Approximately 2.1 million voters are registered to participate in choosing a new state parliament in Brandenburg, the state surrounding the German capital, Berlin.
The election on Sunday is being closely monitored as an indicator of the country's political trajectory. Recent polls indicate a tight race between the far-right Alternative for Germany party and the Social Democrats, the party that has held power in Brandenburg since German reunification in 1990.
