It seems that Germany is on its way to electing the first woman to head the country in 2027.
It comes after Chancellor Friedrich Mertz on Monday nominated Bavarian state parliament speaker Ilse Eigner to be the conservative candidate to succeed President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
It is very likely that Einer will be elected in the first months of next year from the Federal Assembly, which includes members of the House of Representatives and representatives from the parliaments of sixteen German states, according to Reuters.
Igins enjoys the support of the conservatives led by Meretz, and their partners from the Social Democratic Party in the ruling coalition, in addition to the Green Party.
The term of office of the current president, who belongs to the Social Democratic Party, ends in March.
