German Chancellor Angela Merkel's choice - Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer - has been elected by the ruling German Christian Democratic Union party to succeed her as its leader.
The 56-year-old, dubbed as Mini-Merkel, takes over amid increasing discontent with mainstream parties and a surge in support for the far-right.
Al Jazeera's Dominic Kane reports from Hamburg.
