BERLIN - Germany’s Social Democrats will on Saturday announce the winner of a party leadership ballot, whose first task will be to decide whether to quit the ruling coalition with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives.
The oldest party in Germany is in turmoil after a run of dismal regional and European election results and a six-month long leadership race which has left them trailing in polls. Many members want to leave government and rebuild in opposition. The SPD will announce the result of a 10-day ballot of its roughly 426,000 members at about 6 p.m. and delegates are set to approve the choice at a party conference on Dec. 6-8 where they will also vote on the coalition.
The best-known candidate and probably frontrunner is Olaf Scholz, finance minister and deputy chancellor, a centrist criticized by the left of his party for following his former conservative predecessor Wolfgang Schaeuble’s fiscal caution.
