Merkel’s ally Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer elected to lead Germany’s CDU party
RT
Often referred to as Angela Merkel’s “protege” and even “Mini Merkel,” CDU General Secretary Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer has been chosen as the conservative German party’s next leader.
Kramp-Karrenbauer, known as AKK, beat out her main rival, corporate lawyer Friedrich Merz, a staunch critic of Merkel whose win would have represented a decisive break from the current chancellor’s legacy and policies. The vote saw AKK win 517 of the 999 votes, while Merz took 482.

Merkel is still a part of the CDU. She just resigned from the position of the party leader.
She'll remain as the Chancellor of Germany and also as a part of the CDU.
