Friedrich Merz, a candidate favored in early exit polls to become Germany's next chancellor, embodies a conservative approach distinct from former chancellor Angela Merkel. At 69, he transitioned back into politics after a successful career in business and law. His experience and business acumen attract voters amid economic challenges in Germany. Once a prominent political figure in the 1990s, his ousting by Merkel propelled him into the private sector, before he re-emerged to lead the Christian Democratic Union, now seeking a return to political leadership in the turbulent economic landscape.
Friedrich Merz, although favored to be Germany's next chancellor, presents a stark contrast to Angela Merkel with his conservative approach and business background.
Merz's return to politics after a successful career in private law resonates with voters seeking stability in the face of economic stagnation.
