٠٠:٠٣:٠٣Voters in Munich headed to the polls to vote in Germany's federal elections on Sunday.
Around 60 million German citizens are eligible to vote for the new parliament, with voters set to usher in a new era with incumbent Chancellor Angela Merkel set to leave office after a new government is formed.
Polling suggests that the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) are neck and neck, with any new government set to require three parties in order to form a majority. Protracted coalition negotiations are likely to drag on for months, with both the Greens and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) set to be potential kingmakers.
