well it was close but in the end chancellor angela merkel's favorite candidate won on a great. will take over as leader of merkel's c.d.u. party after beating her top rivals in a party voters this now puts her in pole position to possibly become germany's next chancellor after merkel's fourth term comes to an end. the medical could barely hide her delight her preferred candidate comp con bauer is now the new c.p.u. chief in a tight contest she prevailed over her two rivals but is obviously keen to keep both firmly in her corner. so all smooth most wives are going i think we must all work together to continue this momentum we all have the responsibility to shape and sustain this great people's party of the middle and i would be very happy if both he and shannon to friedrich mertz would work with me to achieve it is sunday
2:10 pm
is also the album it up biden there were fears the contest which featured candidates with markedly different profiles could split the party but the defeated contenders urged unity. i would like to ask everyone now to give our new leader on a great crime column by our their wholehearted support. her election featuring such distinct candidates was a courageous and thoroughly democratic experiment for the c.d.u. it was a moment to celebrate even for those who didn't vote for. the mission torches was no i'm not disappointed it was very close so i voted for sharon in the first round because as a young person he made the best impression on me that it would be mocked outside if it was clear early on that it would be a close vote i would have liked the result to have been different. and that's what we've been talking we knew the whole day it was going to be a very close contest but as long as the voting campaign of both fair and democratic
2:11 pm
i'm actually happy with it being. done about. now faces high expectations she'll be measured not only on her ability to reinvigorate the party and win elections but also on whether she can succeed on the american as chancellor. our political correspondent simon young is in hamburg at the second day of that conference simon i'm excited cunt. is the new chief of the c.d.u. some critics have called her a mini merkel are they right. yeah rebecca a k k years is perhaps easier to call her ease somebody who's very close to angela merkel and in terms of temperament i think is very compatible with the chancellor and indeed it was merkel who brought her in position to her as her natural successor by giving her the job of the party general secretary earlier this year and now she's moved on to become party leader in terms of policy i think her instinct is to be
2:12 pm
a centrist and a moderate but she has in the course of this leadership campaign you know espoused some fairly right wing policies for instance on migration talking tough they're saying that you know it's necessary to send home criminal migrants if they've got no right to stay in germany or for instance also interestingly on russia she's talked about extending sanctions and getting tough there so although a.k.k. will have lots of influence within the c.d.u. she doesn't make policy her job is to win votes really of course she might start making policy if indeed she does decide to challenge merkel for the chancellorship in due course well she did we now obviously as we've been saying but she won only by thirty five votes so is the c.d.u. now are really divided party. well i think there is a concern about that here at the c.d.u. . and
2:13 pm
a great credit card boehner said yesterday that she doesn't recognize different wings within the party she wants to unite and it's fortunate for her that her main rival. called for his supporters to get behind her give her the support of the other candidate here and he's joined her leadership team so that all looks good but having said that it was in the last analysis a forty eight to fifty two split in the party does that sound familiar you know it's a bit like brick sit there are a lot of people here who could say well you know we're not really happy with the way things are going and we're going to be awkward down the line that could be a worry for a k.-k. that's i mean just stay on the line for me because merkel also spoke at the party conference yesterday let's take a listen to what she had to say. because these democrats are so in your own gods now more than ever germany's christian democratic union must show what it's made of time and they are called upon to prove that in times like these we resolutely

defend our way of life our liberal values and our interests both at home and abroad and slawson tidy can in enough in these moments i am overwhelmed in this moment by a single feeling thankfulness it was a great pleasure for me a great honor think you very much. else is not how simon just briefly if you can i can work with this new party later can she be confident that you'll be able to fill out that final term as chancellor. when she could be more confident than she would have been had any other candidate won because she's got a close confidant a.k.k. in this important job but in fact it depends on other circumstances for instance how well will the c.d.u. do in important elections in eastern germany next year if they do well that would be ok for a miracle otherwise change will be called forward also partly depends on the s.p.d. the coalition partners at national level if they decide you know it's best for them
2:15 pm
to get out of government that could spell the end of chancellor merkel and of course as i say there are going to meet challenges from within the party no doubt at some point in the future and that will spend the spell the end of chancellor merkel as well simon young in hamburg thank you very much. you're watching d.w. news live from berlin more coming at the top of the hour i'm rebecca riches thanks for joining me. to. take it personally. with all the wonderful people and stories that make the game so special. for all truth. come more than football on line. her first day of
