Voting took place Sunday in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt in a closely watched regional election, with early results suggesting the far-right Alternative for Germany party was leading.

An AfD-led government in the state would mark the first time a far-right party has headed a regional German administration since the end of World War II, according to reporting on the election.
