Alice Weidel is the chancellor candidate of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) She is an unlikely public face for a male-dominated, anti-immigration party .

The 46-year-old is raising two sons with a Sri Lankan -born woman, a filmmaker, and speaks fluent English and Mandarin .

Analysts say she lends a veneer of well-heeled liberal respectability to a party that is suspected by authorities of being antidemocratic.

Weidel has acknowledged some friction over her personal lifestyle in a party that opposes gay marriage.

But she mostly does not focus on the issue of her identity - refusing to be called queer.

She is adept at dealing with different wings of the party in order to maintain her position of power.
