berlin, germany - Friedrich Merz, a Christian Democrat, is elected as the new Chancellor of Germany in the Bundestag after receiving 325 votes. Merz's comeback marks a historic turn of events in German politics.

Friedrich Merz Elected as Chancellor of Germany

After an initial setback, Friedrich Merz of the CDU has been elected as the new Chancellor of Germany in the Bundestag in Berlin. Merz garnered 325 votes this time, surpassing the required threshold of 316.

Historic Turn of Events

The unexpected twist in Merz's election process surprised many, with media outlets dubbing it a historic outcome. Following his official appointment, Merz expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him by his peers.

Coalition Dynamics and Policy Agenda

Merz, aged 69, succeeds Olaf Scholz after the collapse of the previous coalition and the subsequent early elections. His Christian Democratic party secured the largest share of votes, enabling a coalition with Scholz's Social Democratic SPD.

The newly formed coalition has outlined key priorities, including streamlining bureaucracy, addressing illegal migration, and making substantial investments in defense and climate initiatives.

Merz's Political Journey and Ambitions

Merz's election as Chancellor fulfills a long-held ambition, having previously vied for the CDU leadership against Angela Merkel. After a hiatus in politics, Merz reentered the scene, notably critiquing Merkel within his party.

The swearing-in ceremony for Merz and his ministerial team is scheduled for later on Tuesday in Berlin.
