has claimed victory veteran banker guillermo laso won over 50 percent of the runoff vote he campaigned for open markets and foreign investment as a way to restart the economy which has been hit hard by the peg topic. it's a dual for angela merkel's mantle at the head of the conservative take it's germans go to the polls this autumn to elect a new government and after 16 years as chancellor angela merkel is not running again now her christian democratic union party and its bavarian sister party the christian social union are close to deciding who will replace merkel as the conservative candidate for chancellor and these 2 politicians are running has already succeeded merkel in one respect she is the christian democrats party leader and also the state for mayor of north rhine-westphalia. his close ally of angela merkel marcus soda has also put his head in for the job he is the bavarian state

premier and leader of the bavarian christian social union service national profile has grown during the pandemic both say that they are ready to take on the top job. we've announced that we're ready to stand this candidates for the chance of the ship. and we've agreed it should be a good process. as we set off towards the shed gold involving both parties and of course together with the parliamentary group. but this. was a suitable and both of us are ready it's important that we show respect to one another i can say 1st off regardless of how the final decision turns out we work together very very well and bring in the deputy political correspondent melinda kramer linda how will this decision be made now. it will be made by the leadership

of the chancellor's christian democratic party they will be meeting here in berlin today we could have an answer there he soon and at the latest within the next 10 days and mr serjeant has said it's absolutely in their hands if they want him he's ready to take on the leadership at the chancellor of candidacy now the noteworthy thing here is that within the party leadership this is where mr lasher has the bulk of his support within the party's parliamentary group and within the population at large there are many who would prefer mr sirgo but the party leadership appears to be a somewhat concerned about a possible shift in the balance of power toward bavaria and as you noted in your introduction mr souter is the head of the sister party of the c.d.u. there he and christian social union and these are 2 sisters who have

a long standing rival for the so mr blessitt said he's pretty sure the leadership will choose him and who the polls favor many opinion polls show that within the general population there is a very strong margin of support for mr surtur there given the c.s.u. leader 54 percent in the latest poll at the beginning of april said they would prefer him as opposed to just 19 percent for mr lasher. ok we know meantime lusha has been positioning himself as being the most committed of the 2 upholding merkel's legacy how far will bad strategy go for him you think. in some ways that potential strength is exactly what also can become his weakness for germans who are frustrated with the indecisive leadership during the pandemic including coming from him he has changed course numerous times mr server definitely

looks like the better candidate he has shown very decisive leadership in the area to some degree this is also a generation gap mr surtur is considerably younger in many ways he looks more innovative as well as being more decisive and he's been looking very positively at cooperation with the green party in the green party is doing very well in the polls nationally so for all of those reasons mr sort of for many people would appear to be the bolder choice i did time when germany is struggling whereas mr nash it represents continuity with the middle of the road reading my the course is the chancellor and it looks like there are a lot of people who are tired of that direction if you look at the national polls you see that it's a cd you is definitely struggling it has been losing support melinda crane in berlin thank you. now in the bundesliga minds boosted their survival chances with a late victory against cologne the 32 win continues their climb up the table but
