Berlin (dpa) - CSU boss Markus Söder has congratulated Armin Laschet on the new CDU boss via Twitter.
«Congratulations @ArminLaschet.
I'm looking forward to our cooperation!
Together we will continue the success story of the Union, ”wrote the Bavarian Prime Minister on Saturday in the short message service.
At the purely digital CDU party convention, Laschet had previously prevailed quite clearly against ex-Union faction leader Friedrich Merz in a runoff election.
Foreign politician Norbert Röttgen had already left the first round of elections.
