Political Parties Campaign In Federal Elections

BERLIN, GERMANY - AUGUST 24: A car drives past election campaign billboards that depict German Social Democrat (SPD) and chancellor candidate Martin Schulz and German Chancellor and Christian Democrat (CDU) Angela Merkel on August 24, 2017 in Berlin, Germany. Germany will hold federal elections on September 24. Merkel is seeking a fourth term and currently holds an approximate 14-point lead over Schulz, her main rival. Both the German Greens Party and the Free Democrats (FDP) are hoping to position themselves to be part of the next coalition government. The right-wing, populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) will likely finish above the 5% election votes minimum and hence win seats in the Bundestag. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
