Merkel's party votes for new leader, and new era in Germany

The frontrunners to become the new leader of the Christian Democrats are Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, a Merkel protege and Friedrich Merz, a Merkel rival. Merkel said in October she would step down as party chief but remain chancellor. The new CDU leader will be chosen by 1,001 delegates who vote at a party congress in Hamburg.
