The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) is facing internal turmoil as it prepares for upcoming elections.

Olaf Scholz, the current Chancellor, is seen as a potential candidate, but his leadership has left the party in disarray.

The SPD is struggling to find a venue for its national convention, where it plans to finalize its election program and select a lead candidate.

Despite the challenges, the party appears momentarily united, with members discussing election strategies and concerns over mandates.

Scholz's tenure has been marked by a lack of attention to party and factional matters, leading to a weakened position as the SPD heads into the elections.

The party's internal conflicts are further complicated by differing views on the Ukraine war, with some members advocating for peace negotiations with Russia.

As the SPD navigates these challenges, the question remains whether Scholz will be the candidate to lead them into the next election.
