Friedrich Merz is facing a mountain of tasks – but first of all he has been formally confirmed as the new party leader of the CDU.
Friedrich Merz is now officially the new CDU chairman. According to CDU information, the 66-year-old economic politician received 95.33 percent of the votes in the postal vote on Monday.
This written vote was necessary for legal reasons after the online party conference on January 22nd. There Merz had come to 94.62 percent according to the CDU calculation. The 1001 delegates of the online party congress were entitled to vote in the postal vote. As a consequence of the historically worst Union result of 24.1 percent in the federal election last September, the CDU had re-elected its entire leadership. In December, in the first member survey of the CDU for the party chairmanship, Merz was chosen with 62.1 percent as the successor to Armin Laschet, who had failed as a candidate for chancellor.
