  "account": "On this Sunday, 1.7 million people stand at the polls between Annaburg and Osterwieck, as well as Wittenberge and Zeitz, to select a Landtag. A total of 97 representatives will take their seats in Magdeburg's Landtag, dictating the course of Sachsen-Anhalt for the next five years. Rarely has an election in Germany been so clear-cut and uncertain, as the new government's formation and leadership roles are still unknown. Recent polls by the research group Wahlen showed the AfD, classified as a right-wing extremist party by the Landesverfassungsschutz, with 40% of the vote, significantly ahead of the CDU (23%), followed by the Left (13%), SPD (nine), and the Greens (six). The BSW would narrowly miss entering the parliament, as would the FDP (both with three percent). Surveys are accompanied by uncertainties, as many voters only decide a few days before an election whom they will give their vote to, and in Eastern Germany, they feel less strongly attached to parties as they do in Western Germany.",
  "summary": "Die AfD führt Umfragen in Sachsen-Anhalt mit großem Vorsprung an. Doch welche Partei kann nach der Wahl eine Regierung bilden – und wie? Die Konsequenzen dürften weitreichend sein.",
