Thorsten Frei, CDU's parliamentary manager, has called for unity within the Union parties—CDU and CSU—to secure electoral victory. Frei emphasized that success in elections requires a high degree of cohesion within the party.

This call for unity comes amid discussions about the Union's Kanzlerkandidatur, with differing opinions on who should lead the charge. Hendrik Wüst, the Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia, has voiced his support for CDU leader Friedrich Merz as the candidate, urging the CSU to back Merz for a stronger collective chance in the elections.

Wüst, who does not seek the candidacy himself, is praised for his responsibility and strong leadership qualities. Meanwhile, Markus Söder, the Minister-President of Bavaria, remains another potential candidate.

Recent polls indicate that Söder is perceived as more leadership-capable by 63% of Germans, compared to 51% for Merz. However, Merz is seen as slightly more competent, with 47% favoring him over Söder's 46%.

The survey by the Forsa Institute, conducted on September 12 and 13, highlights the tight race and the importance of a unified front for the Union parties.
