Steinmeier re-elected as German president for second term
Frank-Walter Steinmeier was elected to a second term as Germany's president on Sunday after a special assembly voted the veteran politician, seen as a symbol of consensus and continuity, back into the prominent yet largely ceremonial post.
Steinmeier's election by secret ballot by a majority of the assembly for another five years was widely expected, amid broad support from most of Germany's major parties during a time of global turmoil and following a recent change of government.
Steinmeier had been endorsed by most mainstream political parties ahead of the election for the largely ceremonial head of state.
