In this series, we've been talking to politicians who are campaigning for parliament in the upcoming election. What are their motivations? Why did they choose to go into politics? What are their goals? What do they hope to achieve for their party?

Karamba Diaby could make history as the first black member of the German federal parliament. Born in Senegal, Diaby moved to Halle almost 30 years ago. As a member of Halle’s city council for the center-left Social Democrats, he’s a popular politician - but he has faced some prejudice along the way.
