Germany's Social Democrats elect three top officials just days after its candidate, Olaf Scholz, became Germany’s ninth post-World War II chancellor
The developments this week have opened a new era for the EU’s most populous nation and largest economy after Angela Merkel’s 16-year tenure at its helm.
Lars Klingbeil, 43, the former Social Democrats' secretary general, was elected co-party leader at the mostly digital party convention with 86.3 percent of the vote, along with the 60-year-old party leader Saskia Esken, who got 76.7 percent, the German news agency dpa reported on Saturday. The former head of the party's youth wing, 32-year-old Kevin Kühnert, was elected with 77.8 percent as the party's new secretary general, its third position.
Klingbeil added that the victory in Germany's federal election was a great opportunity to shape a “social democratic decade.”
