Angela Merkel is the Chancellor, which is the head of government, not the head of state. President Joachim Gauck holds that position.
Angela Merkel became the chancellor of German when her CDU/CSU party became the largest party during the Geman general election on 18 September 2005.
The CDU/CSU received 35.2% of the vote and had to form a coalition with the SPD, which received 34.2%.
During her second election campaign as chancellor on 17 September 2009, her party managed to gain 33.8% of the vote (-1.4%), while the SPD vote collapsed to 23% (11.2%).
The CDU's traditional coalition partner, the FDP, managed to gain 14.6% (+4.7%) and therefore form a coalition with the CDU/CSU.
Despite receiving only 48.4% of the vote, the system of calculating seats in the German Bundestag gave the CDU/CSU-FDP coalition a 21-seat majority
