German Chancellor Scholz tapped to lead his Social Democrats party in snap polls

Germany's centre-left Social Democrats on Monday officially nominated current Chancellor Olaf Sholz to represent their party in the snap February elections despite his low approval ratings. The elections will be held seven months earlier than scheduled due to the collapse of Scholz's coalition with the Greens and Free Democrats in early November.
