German politician Pistorius receives support for candidacy in Hannover

Pistorius's strong local support

German politician and current mayor of Hanover, Stephan Weil, has given his support to Interior Minister Boris Pistorius in his bid to become the Social Democratic Party (SPD) candidate for chancellor in the 2023 federal election.

Pistorius's popularity

Weil's endorsement is a significant boost for Pistorius, who is considered a strong contender for the nomination. Pistorius is a popular figure in Lower Saxony, where he has served as interior minister since 2013. He is also well-known at the national level, having served as acting SPD leader in 2019.

SPD's search for a chancellor candidate

The SPD is currently searching for a candidate to replace Olaf Scholz, who is stepping down as party leader. Pistorius is one of several candidates who have expressed interest in the position. Other contenders include Finance Minister Olaf Scholz, Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, and Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht.

The SPD's decision

The SPD's decision on who will be its candidate for chancellor is expected to be made in the coming months. The party will hold a leadership conference in December, where the candidates will present their platforms and debate the issues. The party's delegates will then vote on who they want to be the candidate.

Pistorius is considered a strong contender for the nomination, but he will need to win the support of the SPD's base and differentiate himself from the other candidates. He will also need to develop a clear vision for Germany's future.
