Munich (AP) - Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder has postponed the decision on the question of the Union's candidate for chancellor until the next few days.

He believes that the decision could be made this week, but not on Monday, Söder said on Monday in a press conference after a CSU presidium meeting in Munich.

Söder referred to polls both for the Union and for himself. You could not decouple yourself from the majority of the population.

"People now play a central role," said Söder.

The fact that people pull the parties with them and not the other way around was last seen in state elections.

There is still “a lot of discussion movement”, including in the Bundestag faction of the CDU and CSU.

In the next few days it was important to "listen in".

A result must be closed not only in terms of form, but also in terms of content.

He assumes that there will be another phone call between him and CDU leader Armin Laschet on Monday.
