A final poll prior to tomorrow's German election predicted that the extreme right-wing alternative to Germany (AfD) party will see a major increase, but not enough to catch up with Friedrich Merz from the CDU.
Just more than a month after the German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier had called for an election after a vote of no trust against Chancellor Olaf Scholz from the Center Links Social Democratic Party, Germans get their chance to vote tomorrow.
And in what is described as a 'crucial' election for Europe's largest economy, the CDU of the country or the conservative party seems to exceed the mood, according to the latest opinion polls.
The party, led by leader Friedrich Merz, is top of today's last opinion polls and is predicted that he will win 29.7% of the votes, with Merz promising to 'take responsibility in Europe' as the victor is.
“The German government and Chancellor must finally take on a leading role on the international stage,” he said this week for 1200 supporters in Darmstadt.
“If I am chosen, I will spend a significant part of my time keeping this European Union together.”
But the increase in the popularity of the extreme right-wing political party of the country, AfD will only continue, with opinion polls that predict that Alice Weidel and its party will move 20.6% of the votes to the inner SDP, Currently in coalition with the greens.
The anti-immigration AfD has recently enjoyed an increase in popularity, after he has moved from the edge to the foreground of German politics and turns into a hardline nationalist movement that is increasingly open to extremist elements, including neo-Nazis.

Friedrich Merz of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany seems to surpass the mood, according to the last opinion poll
Weidel, the first Chancellor candidate of the party, has focused on addressing young voters who have collected more than 870,000 followers on TIKTOK. The party protects support from the ever -pronounced and more influential Elon Musk, the party speaks about sharpening the borders of Germany and deporting migrants who came illegal and committed crimes.
Both the greens and the SDP, who are currently working together in a coalition, are expected to lose the votes in tomorrow's elections with the first to win 12.9% of the votes and the SDP 15.5%.
SDP leader and current Chancellor since 2021, however, will still lose Olaf Scholz to keep his place in the government and to pin his hope on an estimated one in five undecided voters who could swing the situation to his advantage.
But no party can rule without forming a coalition, which means that it could take weeks before the next government of Germany is completed.
However, political experts have predicted that the 'extremism' of the controversial AfD party will probably be tempered in one form or another in some form or form 'because of the structure of the country's coalition system, which would mean that the extreme right-wing party should work with someone to a majority in parliament.

Olaf Scholz, most likely extroverted after tomorrow's elections, warned the voters against supporting the anti-immigration AfD, even with reference to the political history of Germany of extremism after the two world war.
However, Weidel struck the warning from Scholz and mentioned the comparisons between her party and the outrageous of the Nazis.
“You can insult me ​​everything you want,” she said, “but you insult millions of voters.”
