Friedrich Merz Headed for Germany's Top Job
Millennium Post Delhi
|February 25, 2025
Friedrich Merz is poised to become Germany's 10th post-World War II chancellor after his centre-right Union bloc secured victory in the country's national election with 28.6 per cent of the votes.
-
The 69-year-old lawyer's path to Germany's highest political office comes after a long and sometimes interrupted political career.
Merz's conservatives won 208 seats in the 630-seat Bundestag, while the AfD won 152. The three parties in the former governing coalition lost seats, with the SDP falling to 120 seats and the Greens to 85. The Left party got 64 seats, while the left-wing Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance came in just under the 5 per cent hurdle.
