Angela Merkel sworn in for fourth term as German chancellor

Angela Merkel sworn in for fourth term as German chancellor

YEREVAN, MARCH 14, ARMENPRESS. Angela Merkel has been sworn in for a fourth term as German chancellor, BBC reports.

Germany's parliament earlier approved her re-election by 364 votes to 315.

Merkel's conservative CDU/CSU bloc had its worst result in almost 70 years.

But she finally secured a coalition deal with the Social Democrats (SPD) earlier this month following a political deadlock.

It cost her several key posts - including finance and foreign minister - in Germany's new cabinet.

After parliament confirmed Merkel's reappointment on Wednesday, she told MPs: "I accept the vote."

Merkel was formally appointed by President Frank-Walter Steinmeier before taking the oath of office.
