German Chancellor Angela Merkel expected to emerge victorious in today’s elections




German Chancellor Angela Merkel is predicted to win a fourth consecutive term in power in Germany’s general elections today.

Ms. Merkel’s centre-right CDU and its CSU sister party are likely to obtain a comfortable victory, though far-right, anti-immigration party AfD is also expected to gain representation inside the Bundestag for the first time ever.

Voting stations will close at 5pm Irish time, with counting getting underway soon after.
