| Description | Negotiations to form a new German government were thrown into jeopardy Monday as the leader of one of the main parties said he would step down after losing an internal power struggle.
The chairman of the Social Democratic Party, Franz Müntefering, said he would not run for re-election next month, after the party's executive committee rejected his candidate for the party's No. 2 position.
Müntefering, 65, is representing the Social Democrats in arduous negotiations to form a government with the Christian Democratic Union, led by Angela Merkel. The parties had hoped to wrap up the coalition talks in time to elect Merkel as chancellor in Parliament on Nov. 22. |
