German voters are set to cast their ballots on Sunday in a snap federal election, triggered by the dissolution of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's three-party coalition led by the Social Democrats (SPD). This pivotal election journey unfolds against a backdrop of significant global events, including the return of former U.S. President Donald Trump to the White House and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
The rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has been a notable factor shaping the electoral agenda, presenting a challenge to the traditional political landscape. As voters head to the polls, the outcomes of this election are expected to have profound implications not only for Germany's domestic policies but also for its role in international affairs.
