BERLIN - Germany's Social Democrats will ask Finance Minister Olaf Scholz to be their chancellor candidate at an election next year when conservative Angela Merkel's fourth and last term ends, the weekly Die Zeit reported on Wednesday , citing SPD sources.

Reuters earlier reported a senior SPD member, who described himself as a critic of Scholz, saying that the minister had done an"impressive job" during the crisis, and that his chances of becoming chancellor candidate were high. Even Kevin Kuehnert, a long-time critic of Scholz and leader of the party's youth wing, signalled his willingness to support the finance minister as a candidate, the report said.
