A far right politician for the controversial Alternative for Deutschland or AfD party has resigned, after it was discovered he had converted to Islam.
Surging to popularity before the 2017 election, AfD gained widespread notoriety for anti-immigration policy after Germany admitted more than 1.5 million refugees on a humanitarian basis.
This is the second far right politician to be caught converting to Islam, as the Dutch far right party expelled one of its own members over a pilgrimage to mecca.
