Bavarian politician Ilse Aigner has emerged as the leading candidate to succeed Frank-Walter Steinmeier as president of Germany, a largely ceremonial figure who is nevertheless the official head of state, and regarded as a moral authority for the nation. German chancellor and Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader Friedrich Merz announced over the weekend that he favored Aigner, a veteran of the CDU's sister-party, the Christian Social Union (CSU) , and currently president of the Bavarian parliament.
