Bavarian governor steps down after election losses
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Bavaria's governor is resigning following a disastrous state election performance for his party, which is part of Chancellor Angela Merkel's government.
Guenther Beckstein said Wednesday he would step down as governor because he felt his support within the conservative Christian Social Union was not enough for him to remain in his job.
Beckstein's announcement completes the change of the CSU's top leaders. The party suffered its worst state election performance in 54 years on Sunday.
Beckstein did not say who would replace him. Federal Agriculture Minister Horst Seehofer is expected to succeed Huber as party leader.
