The President of Bavaria's State Parliament Ilse Aigner addresses a press conference on her nomination as candidate to become the country's next president, after a leadership meeting of the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party in Berlin on November 9, 2026. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said November 8, 2026 he intended to appoint Bavarian politician Ilse Aigner as the country's next president, in 2027, making her the first woman in the post. Aigner's nomination by Merz virtually guarantees her election on January 30, as those voting are almost all drawn from Germany's two parliamentary chambers. German political practice is that coalition parties agree on a common candidate for the job. The president is meant to be above party politics, representing the moral conscience of the country.
