Germany - Lafontaine Elected SDP Leader

(16 Nov 1995) T/I: 10:24:07 Oskar Lafontaine was elected leader of Germany's Social Democratic Party (SPD) on Thursday (16/11), ousting Rudolf Scharping by 321 votes to 190. It was a dramatic development at a crisis congress for a party that has suffered severe setbacks in recent months. Up until Wednesday night (15/11), Scharping, 47, had been the only candidate for the top job. In a brief acceptance speech, Lafontaine said he would have a hard task to follow such former party leaders as Willy Brandt. SHOWS: MANNHEIM, GERMANY 16/11 Exterior conference hall.
