      (Bloomberg) -- The leader of Germany's Christian Democrats battled to recover control after a state leader lined up alongside the far right in a key regional vote. Chancellor Angela Merkel's center-right CDU on Wednesday voted alongside the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany to put a candidate from the pro-business FDP into power in the eastern region of Thuringia. The AfD, which has shaken up Germany's political establishment with its attacks on Merkel's migration policy, came in second place in the Oct. 27 state election in Thuringia.
