Excerpt:
Germany's national parliament is likely to have more deputies with migration background after Sunday's election as parties have actively sought to mobilize and capture the votes of the large immigrant community.
Around 100 candidates with migration background, 66 of them of Turkish origin are standing for election on Sunday and around 10 of them have a solid chance of securing a seat in the Bundestag, or federal parliament.
Germany has about 15 million inhabitants with a migrant background. Around 5 million of them are eligible to vote, making up 10 percent of the electorate.
