Exit polls show the center-right Christian Democratic Union party leading, with the AfD party heading towards the strongest showing of the far-right since World War II.

Exit polls project Germany’s center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) garnered the biggest vote share in the country’s elections Sunday—and the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is projected to nab a historic number of votes after garnering the endorsement of billionaire Elon Musk.

Germany has elected Friedrich Merz, a candidate for the country’s conservative Christian Democrats Union party, as its next Chancellor in a squeak-out victory, beating the far-right AfD party in an election that saw the highest voter turnout in decades.
