German far-right AfD party selects Alice Weidel as chancellor candidate for February election.
Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party will nominate co-leader Alice Weidel as its first chancellor candidate ahead of a snap election in February. AfD, currently polling second behind the conservatives, aims to appeal to more moderate voters with Weidel, who is considered a moderate within the party. She has avoided many controversies linked to the party and has focused on issues like immigration and the economy. The AfD has seen a 50% increase in membership over the past year.
