"Our future government, I think we all agree on this, should ensure prosperity, security and peace. That is what we are standing here for, because we in the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) are making you an offer in return," said Merkel.
Laschet thanked Merkel for her work as chancellor, saying it was a 'stroke of luck' that she had been in power as Germany faced so many crisis over the last 16 years.
He also attacked the Left Party, and the possibility of a so-called Red-Red-Green government, made up of the Left with the Greens and the Social Democratic Party (SPD), accusing the party of being against 'every European unification step.'
According to the latest polling by the Forsa Institute on Friday, the SPD are in the lead with 25 percent of those surveyed, with the CDU and its sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU) at 22 percent, with Greens in third on 17 percent, and the Free Democratic Party in fourth on 12.
