Germany's centre-right Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced that she will run for a fourth term in office.
Speaking at a meeting of her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in Berlin, she said she expected her toughest campaign to date, and vowed to "fight for our values and our way of life".
General elections are expected in Germany next year.
Mrs Merkel's poll ratings have slipped since the height of her popularity but she retains wide support.
The chancellor, who has been in office since 2005, is being challenged by the populist right-wing AfD party.
She announced she would stand again after meeting party leaders at CDU headquarters.
She told reporters that the decision to run for a fourth term had been "anything but trivial after 11 years in office".
She added that she expected challenges from both the right and the left of the political spectrum.

AfD is gaining momentum à la 'Trumpism' but I think Merkel has a strong grip on the ballot.

A lot can happen between now and election day.

Let's not forget people didn't give trump a chance, then he won the republican nomination

People expected a walkover for clinton at that point but we all saw what happ'd.

But Merkel is for now 'safely' ahead

She should go and rest jor.
Does she want to become another Mugabe?

Nationalism is rising fast and multiculturalism is dead.

Angela will lose big time.

Well I do hope she loses anyway, we need a change of the old order in the major world powers.
UK did it with Theresa May, US has done it with Trump, I'm keeping a close eye on France : Sarkozy is out, Marie Le Pen is on the upswing. Interesting times ahead in global politics

I agree with you brov, a whole lot can happen in the next few months.
I admire her leadership though

Nationalism is the wooden stake to the communist utopia of one world govt

She should resign and give a younger generation chance to contribute to the growth of the country, if it is an African country now they will start to write rubbish, Yaya Jammer of Gambia is coming for 4th term after 22 years in power but western countries are mounting pressure, any person that stayed for more than 10 years in office anywhere in the world should step down

To me she's overbearing (on europe) that's how they wanted to force poland, Hungary to take in refugees

This is the manifestation of the Mugabe spirit. We need pastor TBJ to do the needful as usual
