Robert Habeck has thrown his hat in the ring to become his Green Party's top candidate for the upcoming election.

The economy minister has announced his intent to run as the Greens ' chancellor candidate.

He is unlikely to become chancellor -- the job traditionally goes to the leader of the strongest party, which is likely to be the center-right Christian Democratic Union ( CDU ).

Habeck made the most of the alliance, becoming a close friend of Daniel Günther , the conservative leader of the coalition.

That he could harmonize with others on the opposite side of the political spectrum is taken as further evidence of his talent as a people person.

Some core Green voters accused him of bending too easily in the wind.
