There's a good piece in Focus today talking of the top dozen CDU members under Merkel, and where they may stand in the coming weeks with the 'new' government. Merkel has strongly hinted that half the minister positions will be filled by women. Those mentioned:
Peter Altmaier: He's been Merkel's chief of staff for four years. Some think he'll sit back into the Bundestag until summer of 2019, and then take a role within the CDU at Brussels and the EU.
Johanna Wanka. There's a suggestion that she'll end as the Minister of Research.
Jens Spahn. There's talk that he'll end up as Minister of Finance.
Peter Tauber. He was the head of the party apparatus.....there's talk now as the Minister for Integration.
Wolfgang Schauble. There's talk he'll end up as the President of the Bundestag (the guy who runs scheduling and forces rules upon the Bundestag).
Joachim Herrmann. The CSU member likely ends up as Interior Minister.
Helge Braun. Likely to be digital chief.
Gitta Connemann. She's discussed as head of Consumer Protection or the Agricultural Ministry.
