Germany's Merkel should serve full term, says heir apparent as rumours of a potential early elections swirl
The leader of Germany's ruling Christian Democrats and heir presumptive to Angela Merkel said she had no ambition to succeed her as chancellor until 2021 ahead of a major test of popularity at this month's European election.
Kramp-Karrenbauer, known as AKK for short, has since struggled to make an impression. Support for the CDU is running at around 30 percent ahead of the May 23 election to the European Parliament - less than Merkel's general election tally. "We have a coalition that simply hasn't come together and doesn't find it easy to cooperate," she said.
