JUST IN: Angela Merkel to Step Down in 2021



The Germany's Chancellor, Mrs. Angela Merkel has said she would step down as the country's leader in 2021, following recent election setbacks.

Mrs. Merkel who assumed duty in 2005 as the German Chancellor disclosed to a news conference in Berlin, "I will not be seeking any political post after my term ends."

She also said she would not seek re-election as leader of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party in December 2018. It's noteworthy that she has held the post since 2000.

Rostrum gathered that the CDU was severely weakened in the Sunday's poll in the state of Hesse, the latest in a series of setbacks.

 

Both the CDU and its national coalition partners, the Social Democrats were 10 percentage points down on the previous poll in the said area.

The election comes just weeks after Mrs. Merkel's Bavarian sister party, the CSU, suffered huge losses in a state parliament vote.

Parties like the left-leaning Greens and the far-right, anti-immigration AfD have grown in national support following the 2017 general elections, as backing for the major centre parties has waned.

The 64-year-old Mrs. Merkel may however be retiring to Hamburg where she hails from, after her tenure's expiration.
