Germany polls: Merkel backs ‘bridge-developer’ Laschet to succeed her
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has upheld her centre-right party’s preferred flagbearer Armin Laschet to succeed her, in a bizarrely close electioneerig crusade.
At the last CDU rally, in Mr Laschet’s old neighborhood of Aachen, Mrs Merkel commended him as a “bridge-developer who will get individuals ready“.

The political race is a real heart stopper, with surveys putting the center right nearly in a dead heat with the center left SPD.
Mrs Merkel has overwhelmed German governmental issues for a very long time as chancellor.
Mrs Merkel had promised to stay away from the mission for Sunday’s political race, however her CDU-CSU collusion has lost what was an agreeable lead in the surveys and is presently limping along the SPD (Social Democrats) – the lesser accomplices in the current alliance government.
