German far-right leader Alice Weidel said Monday she was aiming for her Alternative for Germany (AfD) to become the strongest party in the country after its best ever result. The AfD finished in second place with just under 21%, behind only the conservative CDU-CSU which came first on 28.6%. It was the strongest showing for a far-right party since WWII. Weidel, the AfD’s candidate to be chancellor, said she believed the party could “overtake the CDU within the next few years for the next election… to become the strongest force” in Germany. The AfD also came second among voters aged 18 to 24 with a share of support similar to its overall result. Only the far-left Die Linke party did better, with 25 percent.
