BERLIN, March 5 (Xinhua) German media has dubbed 2021 the super election year, as politicians and voters in Germany are preparing for an election in September which might change the country s political landscape more than any of the previous ones.
Whatever the outcome, Germany will have a new chancellor. Chancellor Angela Merkel of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) had announced in 2018 that she would not run for office again after four consecutive terms.
Being in office for 16 years, Merkel will be one of the longest-serving chancellors on a par with Helmut Kohl, who led Germany into reunification in 1990.
