Conservative leader Angela Merkel is set to become Germany's next chancellor under an agreement reached between the country's two main parties, a television channel reported Monday.
ZDF television cited no sources in a brief statement on the apparent agreement. It said nothing about what would happen to incumbent Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in a power-sharing deal between his Social Democrats and Merkel's conservatives.
