Ilse Aigner floated as candidate to succeed Steinmeier

Original: ilse aigner

Ilse Aigner, the Bavarian CSU politician and president of the Bundestag's... actually head of the Bavarian State Chancellery, is being discussed as a possible candidate for German Federal President when Frank-Walter Steinmeier's term ends. An SPD deputy has said she would be suited for the highest office, and Saarland's Anke Rehlinger has also endorsed her, while debate grows over whether Friedrich Merz's Union can settle the succession smoothly.

Why now: Speculation is mounting over who will succeed Frank-Walter Steinmeier as German President, with cross-party support emerging for Aigner.
