Issues and campaign
This section needs additional citations for verification. (September 2021) |
The SPD nominated Johannes Rau, their vice chairman and the Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia, as their candidate for Chancellor. However, the SPD suffered from internal divisions and competition with the Greens.[citation needed] It was also unclear as to how they would form a government, as the Greens were divided over whether to take part in governments.[citation needed]
One of the major issues in this election was the environment, after the Chernobyl disaster and other accidents.[citation needed]
