The leader of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) said on Monday (24 February) her party would hold a congress on April 25 to elect a new chairperson and said possible candidates would announce this week whether they want to run, writes Michelle Martin.

Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer said the choice of CDU leader made at the upcoming congress would send a signal about who will run for chancellor for the conservatives in next year’s federal election.

The CDU succession debate was blown wide open earlier this month when Kramp-Karrenbauer unexpectedly said she would no longer seek to succeed her mentor Merkel.
