Alternative for Germany party (AfD) is a populist party that aims to deny the rights of Germans and rewind the clock on years of progressive policies.

One in five Germans sympathize with the AfD and its policies, according to the Pew Research centre, a nonpartisan American think tank based in Washington, D.C ..

The far-right party's manifesto calls for massive “repatriation” of immigrants, a stop to the use of gender-neutral terminology and it opposes abortion “as a human right,” among other things.

The party in power, the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), managed to narrowly clinch another term, capturing 30.9 per cent of the votes.

The AfD has faced opposition since its inception, even when it originally leaned neo-liberal and was created to oppose currency union within the European Union .

Support for the party has also been growing in West Germany , which historically tends to vote centre-right, centre-left.

People in the East , where the AfD is strongest, are wary of the CDU , Hoyer says.
