Germany\u2019s ruling Christian Democrat Union has chosen Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer as their new party leader, but Angela Merkel plans to serve out her term as chancellor until 2021.<\/p>\n

The CDU general secretary won 517 of the 999 votes cast.<\/p>\n

She narrowly defeated Friedrich Merz, a millionaire lawyer, who received 482 votes at the party conference.<\/p>\n

As the head of Germany\u2019s largest party, Ms Kramp-Karrenbauer could become the next German chancellor.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old former prime minister of the state of Saarland was a party favourite and Ms Merkel\u2019s choice for succession.<\/p>\n

Earlier during her farewell speech as party leader, Mrs Merkel praised Ms Kramp-Karrenbauer \u2013 who is known as AKK \u2013 for her 2017 electoral success in Saarland, in a clear hint of the chancellor\u2019s personal preference in the leadership race.<\/p>\n
