Aigner gets coalition nod
The leadership of Germany’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has nominated Ilse Aigner, the 61-year-old president of the Bavarian state parliament, for federal president. She has the backing of the governing coalition parties, while the Greens have also voiced support—strengthening the possibility that she could become the first woman to hold the office. The Federal Convention is scheduled to elect the new president on January 30, 2027. Aigner would succeed Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who is barred from seeking a third consecutive term. She said she would work to bring citizens together and bridge divisions, while the Alternative for Germany (AfD) plans to put forward a rival candidate.
