German election 2021: Germany votes as Merkel steps down - BBC News

Three parties have candidates for chancellor, and they’ve all been the focus of intense public interest.

1) Conservatives - Armin Laschet

Outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has dominated German politics for decades along with its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU).

CDU leader Armin Laschet would be Merkel's natural successor, but he has struggled to win over voters, particularly after he was pictured laughing during a visit to a flood-hit town in western Germany in July.

2) Social Democrats

The centre-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) has been in coalition with the conservatives and was the front-runner until the CDU/CSU alliance narrowed the lead.

Finance Minister Olaf Scholz is also Merkel’s vice-chancellor and is still favourite to win.

3) The Greens

Focusing on climate change and social justice, they briefly led the polls in the spring.

Leader Annalena Baerbock, 40, has not yet had a role in government but her party is likely to be part of the next one.
