Germany's center-right opposition was set to win two state elections on Sunday at the halfway mark of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's unpopular national government, according to exit polls, which showed gains for a far-right party.
Exit polls for ARD and ZDF public television showed the CSU, which has led Bavaria since 1957, on course to extend that run with support of around 37% — little changed from five years ago and around 20 points ahead of its nearest rival. In Hesse, the CDU was seen winning about 35% of the vote, making gains and also far ahead of its rivals.
But neither party looked to be anywhere near challenging the CDU's 24-year hold on the job. Exit polls showed them on about 16%, vying with Alternative for Germany, or AfD, for second place. “We do a lot of good things with each other and talk them down at times," said Omid Nouripour, the Greens' national co-leader. And he said that “above all, AfD's results are alarming and we must do everything to win back confidence.”
