Comeback for Scholz as his party names him German chancellor candidate

German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said he had been proposed by his Social Democrat party's leadership as their candidate to for Chancellor at next year's elections, when current conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel's fourth and final term ends.

The decision marks a comeback for the former Hamburg mayor, who was last year defeated in the race to lead his party by two left-wing outsiders. Now, Saskia Esken and Norbert Walter-Borjans have nominated their erstwhile rival."Now it's official," Scholz wrote on Twitter."The party leadership have unanimously nominated me as chancellor candidate. I look forward to a fun, fair and successful campaign.
