German Chancellor confirmed the rumor that she is not going to run for leadership of the Christian Democratic Union again in December. Also, she’s stay and carry out my duties as chancellor for the rest of the legislative period till 2021.
She also confirmed that her hand-picked CDU general secretary, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, and conservative rival, Jens Spahn, will both run as party leader. For now, she is not taking a side but rather, she’s looking at the party leadership race “as an opening, a phase of possibilities,” “a nice process”.
