Germany is preparing for two more state elections on Sunday, in the capital Berlin and in the largely rural northeastern region of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, according to a report by France 24.

Attention is focused on the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which recently recorded its best-ever result in elections in Saxony-Anhalt, the report said. The anti-immigration party is hoping to repeat that performance and make further gains in the two upcoming votes.

According to the report, the AfD's rising popularity is presenting a challenge for Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and both elections are expected to serve as an additional test of his leadership.

The report, by Eliza Herbert for France 24, did not provide further details on the specific candidates or parties contesting the elections in the two states, nor on current polling figures ahead of Sunday's vote.
