Olaf Scholz has been chosen as the SPD's anointed

Germany's Social Democrats have chosen Olaf Scholz to be the SPD's chancellor candidate in next year's German federal elections.

Scholz is currently Germany's finance minister and deputy chancellor. 

According to polls he is Germany's third most popular politician after Angela Merkel and health minister Jens Spahn,

His choice is somewhat of a surprise among SPD members but he is one of the most popular politicians among the electorate.

Scholz was bron in Osnabrück and grew up in Hamburg.

Studied law and is a member of the Bundestag since 1998 and is a former SPD labour minister.

The SPD have a fight on their hands but in the world of Covid he might well be the person for the job.

Good luck.
