Chancellor Angela Merkel travels Saturday to Aachen, hometown of her would-be successor Armin Laschet, in a last-ditch push to shore up his beleaguered campaign 24 hours before Germans vote.

In the last week of the campaign, Merkel took Laschet to her constituency by the Baltic coast and on Friday headlined the closing rally gathering the conservatives’ bigwigs in Munich. A day before the vote, she will accompany Laschet to his constituency Aachen, a spa city near Germany’s western border with Belgium and the Netherlands, where he was born and still lives.

Also on the campaign trail on Friday, Scholz demanded a “fresh start for Germany” and “a change of government” after 16 years under Merkel. Laschet had gone into the race for the chancellery badly bruised by a tough battle for the conservatives’ chancellor candidate nomination.But Laschet was seen chuckling behind President Frank-Walter Steinmeier as he paid tribute to victims of deadly floods in July, an image that would drastically turn the mood against him and his party.
