A series of deaths of their candidates in a local election in North-Rhine Westphalia have shaken the German right-wing populist party AfD.
While originally AfD reported four deaths that all occurred during the same local election campaign, the party has now announced two more.
According to Politico, two reserve list candidates have also died.
Due to the deaths, ballot papers have to be reprinted and successors appointed, and several mail-in ballots are now invalid.
