Merkel Gets Fourth Term As German Chancellor
_____________________________________

Mrs. Angela Merkel has won a fourth term as German Chancellor, but with her party's lead in parliament cut and the country facing a surge in support for the far right.

Rostrum gathered that exit polls predicted the hard-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) would become the third-largest group in the national parliament, the Bundestag, as German voters delivered a stinging blow to the traditional parties.

Mrs. Merkel's center-right CDU and its sister CSU had their share of the vote slashed. Germany's oldest party, the center-left SPD, which had been in a "grand coalition" with Merkel, was consigned to opposition.

Addressing her supporters, a subdued Mrs. Merkel said the result gave her a "mandate" to govern but that the AfD's success would require "thorough analysis" to understand the concerns of their voters.

Grab the summary of the elections' latest below:

CDU/CSU: 33%

SDP : 20.6%

AfD: 12.8%

FDP: 10.6%

Die Linke: 9.1

Grune: 8.9%

Others: 5%
