  "account": "German voters of immigrant background are distancing themselves from traditional centrist parties even more than others, according to a recent study by the Berlin-based German Center for Integration and Migration Research (DeZIM). In 2023, more than seven million people, comprising over 12% of eligible voters in Germany, had an immigrant background. Despite this, the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) still holds the greatest voter potential among immigrants and their descendants, with two-thirds of those surveyed indicating they would consider voting for them. The center-right Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) follow closely behind, with only one in five respondents categorically rejecting these parties. Older respondents with an immigrant background tend to lean toward the SPD, but this bond seems to be breaking down among younger generations. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), meanwhile, has the least potential voters of immigrant background, with nearly two-thirds of those surveyed rejecting voting for the party. However, the AfD is actively trying to win over the immigrant voter base.",
