German voters undecided on Angela Merkels successor
Germany's national election looks too close to call, with the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) mounting a strong challenge to retiring Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives.
Merkel has been in power since 2005 but has announced she will step down after the election, making Sunday's vote an era-changing event to set the future course of Europe's largest economy.
A fractured electorate means that after the election leading parties will sound each other out before embarking on more formal coalition negotiations that could take months, leaving Merkel, 67, in charge in a caretaker role.
