Secretary General of the Christian Democratic Union Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer said that the Hesse state election results are 'painful', speaking from the CDU headquarters in Berlin on Sunday.
"It is painful for the CDU that we've lost so many votes," the CDU General Secretary said, before commending "the friends in Hesse" for reaching "the big election goal - to avert a Red-Red-Green majority."
"The approval ratings on a national level are disappointing and unsatisfactory," Kramp-Karrenbauer told reporters, tracing the source of the problem back to the behaviour of the two governing parties, CDU and SPD.
When asked about Angela Merkel’s plans to compete at the upcoming CDU convention as the party’s leader, she said that "the head of the party has clearly explained that she will compete again at the party convention."
According to the first polls at 18:00 local time (17:00 GMT), the CDU won 28 percent at the Hesse state legislature elections, signalling a 10 percent loss compared to the last elections five years ago.
