| Description | Statements from a SPD spokesperson seem to confirm earlier reports that a deal has been struck between the Social Democrats and conservatives which will see Angela Merkel become Germany's first female chancellor.
Germany’s long wait for a new chancellor is coming to an end after sources from both the Social Democrat and Christian Democratic Union parties said on Monday that Angela Merkel is set to become Germany's first female chancellor, and the first to have been raised in the former communist east, under a deal struck with the SPD.
A Social Democrat spokesman told reporters that Gerhard Schröder's party had agreed that Merkel should replace the incumbent as chancellor at the head of a coalition government. The spokesperson said party members had approved by a large majority the deal that would make Merkel the first female chancellor in German history. |
