German Chancellor Angela Merkel will run for a fourth term in elections next year, Norbert of the Christian Democratic Union announced on CNN Tuesday.
"She will run for Chancellor," Norbert Roettgen, a senior German politician told CNN's Frederik Pleitgen on CNN's "Amanpour" program.
Ironic to some given Hillary Clinton loss to Donald Trump in the US Election last week. Much of Clinton's campaign was about voting for a women.
