Friedrich Merz is set to become Germany’s new chancellor after his CDU/CSU bloc secured 28.5% votes, defeating Olaf Scholz’s SPD. Merz, a longtime conservative leader, vows to revive Germany’s economy and impose stricter immigration policies. His political career saw setbacks under Angela Merkel, but he staged a strong comeback in 2022. With AfD securing 20.7% votes, coalition talks are crucial. Born in 1955, Merz has a legal background and extensive experience in finance. His next challenge? Forming a stable government to lead Germany through economic and political challenges.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has conceded defeat as the CDU/CSU secures victory in Germanys national election. The right-wing AfD made history by finishing second with 20.4% of the vote, marking its strongest national result ever. Friedrich Merz, CDU leader, vowed swift government formation, rejecting any coalition with Scholz’s SPD, which suffered its worst result since WWII. The election, dominated by migration debates, saw international figures like Elon Musk and J.D. Vance weigh in. Analysts predict a CDU led coalition but remain uncertain about Scholzs future role.
