Brandenburg Holds State Elections

POTSDAM, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 14: Bernd Lucke (C), head of the AfD (Alternative for Germany) political party reacts to the initial exit poll results that give the party 12% of the vote in Brandenburg state elections on September 14, 2014 in Potsdam, Germany. The newcomer party, which is presenting itself as a Euro-sceptic, center-right party not afraid to take on populist themes in order to also attract right-wing voters, will thereby likely gain seats in the Brandenburg state parliament. Today voters are also going to the polls in state elections in Thuringia. (Photo by Carsten Koall/Getty Images)
