Germany new president

You're referring to the recent presidential election in Germany!

On February 13, 2022, Frank-Walter Steinmeier was re-elected as the President of Germany for a second five-year term. Steinmeier, a member of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), has been serving as the President of Germany since March 2017.

Steinmeier, a former Foreign Minister and Vice-Chancellor of Germany, won the election with 83.8% of the vote, according to the Federal Returning Officer. The election was held by the Federal Convention, a body composed of members of the Bundestag (German parliament) and an equal number of representatives from the states.

Steinmeier's re-election was seen as a sign of stability and continuity in German politics, particularly during a time of significant global challenges and uncertainty. As President, Steinmeier plays a ceremonial and symbolic role, serving as the head of state and representing Germany abroad.
