Horst Metz, Saxony’s former Finance Minister, has resigned from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) citing Mrs Merkel as the reason.

Mr Metz told the Sächsische Zeitung: “When Angela Merkel explained that she was running again (for the election), it was clear to me that I was leaving.”

The veteran politician, 71, who had been a member of the party for 48 years, added: “I have the feeling that this is no longer my CDU”.

In 2002 he was appointed Finance Minister in the regional government of Saxony and served for five years.
