Robert Habeck Announces Candidacy for German Chancellor Amid Coalition Collapse

Habeck's bid comes as Germany faces new elections following the breakdown of the governing coalition.

Robert Habeck, Germany's Vice Chancellor, has declared his intention to run as the Green Party's candidate for Chancellor in the upcoming federal election.
The announcement follows the collapse of Germany's three-party coalition government, leading to anticipated elections in March.
Habeck's candidacy will be confirmed at the Green Party's conference in mid-November, where he is expected to receive support from party delegates.
Herbert Grönemeyer has prohibited the use of his song "Zeit, dass sich was dreht" by political parties, including the Greens, following its use in Habeck's announcement video.
Despite low polling numbers for the Greens, Habeck is positioning himself as a candidate focused on climate protection and economic restructuring.
