Alice Weidel has been nominated as the first chancellor candidate of the far-right AfD party in Germany, but faces challenges in gaining the chancellery due to other parties' refusal to collaborate with AfD. Despite this, the party has seen rising approval ratings, currently polling at 18-19%. Weidel aims to restore the economy, reverse energy policies, and reduce migration, which she views as a major issue. The AfD is under investigation for being classified as a right-wing extremist group. A snap election is anticipated following a no-confidence vote against current Chancellor Scholz.
