Halfway through the legislative period, Chancellor Angela Merkel in July 2011 stated publicly that she wished to run again in 2013. This came as polls showed she would face strong challengers from the opposition Social Democrats. According to the results of an opinion poll published in July 2011, Germany’s ruling centre-right coalition, headed by Chancellor Angela Merkel, had slipped 12 points behind the combined vote of its opposition rivals, the centre-left Social Democrats and environmentalist Green party, in spite of a decision to cut taxes before the next elections in 2013. |
