The people of Germany certainly voted for Angela Merkel as she is their elected figurehead much like David Cameron is here in the UK. Merkel has nothing to do with the European Parliament.
As Andreos posted a few posts back, in 2014, Jean-Claude Junker was elected to serve as President of the European Commission although this was the first time an election had been held for the position.
