Daniel Peters is resigning as CDU leader in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern after the party failed to enter the state parliament. Several media outlets report.
The CDU received 4.9 percent of the votes and therefore failed to clear the five-percent threshold, marking the first time the party had failed to win seats in a German state parliament. AfD became the largest party in the northern German state.
Philipp Amthor is temporarily taking over as local party leader.
