The 2025 German Federal Election is done, the Union is the winner. Who will be a minister in this next administration? Last year there were 16 of them.
Resolves YES for everybody who gets sworn in and NO otherwise.
If elections are repeated, it is NO for everybody.
A chancellor is a minister too.
Update 2025-04-28 (PST): - Exclude Staatsminister (State Ministers in the Chancellery) from the definition of minister. They are high-level secretaries, not heads of any ministry. (AI summary of creator comment)
Update 2025-05-06: If a new federal election occurs, all options are NA. It does not matter how many elections for chancellor the Bundestag does.

BTW: Michaela Kabiner should be named Michaela Kaniber.
Merz will zudem mit Michael Meister (Bund-Länder-Zusammenarbeit), Christiane Schenderlein (Sport und Ehrenamt) und dem Verleger Wolfram Weimer (Kultur und Medien) drei Staatsminister ins Kanzleramt holen.
I don't think it makes sense to count "Staatsminister" as minister even though it is in the title. They are not head of any ministry. They are high level secretaries (under minister Thorsten Frei according to this press release).
@JannesH You should be able to add names yourself. Michael Kaniber was added by someone else, for example.
That said, I added Laschet for you.
Today they published the "Koalitionsvertrag". It contains which ministries there will be and which party will get them. It is not decided which persons though.
CDU: 7
SPD: 7
CSU: 3
Plus the chancellor is 18 total.
