Laschet Wins CDU Committee Vote (BBG)

GERMANY

A BBG source report notes that Armin Laschet has won 31/46 of the CDU leadership votes from the party's committee. Bavarian State Premier Markus Soeder won 9 votes, with 6 abstentions observed, per the source. Laschet still requires the backing of the CDU's smaller Bavarian sister party (the CSU), which is led by Soeder, in order to confirm nomination as the CDU-CSU candidate for Chancellor in this year's Federal election.
