German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier was re-elected for a second term of five years by a special parliamentary assembly.
Steinmeier had been endorsed by most mainstream political parties ahead of the election for the largely ceremonial head of state.
The position of president in Germany is largely symbolic, but its holder is nonetheless the country’s highest authority.
Prior to his first election as president in 2017, Steinmeier was served twice as foreign minister under Merkel, and also as her vice chancellor from 2007 to 2009.
