Alternative for Germany appears to be heading for its strongest national election result yet this month .

The far-right party first entered Germany ’s national parliament eight years ago on the back of discontent with the arrival of large numbers of migrants in the mid-2010s .

The party has proven adept at harnessing discontent with other issues such as curbing migration.

It finished second in the European Parliament election in June .

The party has found an enthusiastic supporter in billionaire Elon Musk , a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump .

Musk has declared that “only the AfD can save Germany .” He held a live chat on X with Weidel and appeared live by video link at an AfD campaign rally.
