Kramp-Carrenbauer acknowledged that the Christian Democrats have had a difficult year. In the speech where he presented his vision on the future of the party just faced with a wrinkle of support in the polls, even with poor results in regional elections, Merkel's successor was open to participants at the conference.

The current party chairman, Kramp-Karrenbauer, is seen as her potential successor as Chancellor, but recent polls have shown a significant contraction of support for her within her own party.
