		</div><p>Germany&#8217;s main centre-left party is backing former European Parliament president Martin Schulz to lead their campaign to unseat Chancellor Angela Merkel in the country&#8217;s upcoming election.</p>
<p>Members of the Social Democratic Party&#8217;s national executive agreed on Sunday to make Mr Schulz their candidate for the chancellorship, a post that traditionally goes to the party which receives the greatest share of votes in a general election.</p>
<p>Mr Schulz, 61, is also expected to become party leader in March after incumbent Sigmar Gabriel unexpectedly stepped down to make way for him last week.</p>
<p>Polls put the former bookseller&#8217;s popularity close to that of Mrs Merkel, who is running for a fourth term in the September 24 vote.</p>
<p>Mr Schulz (pictured) has spoken out against anti-immigrant populism that has boosted the nationalist Alternative for Germany party in recent years.</p>
