European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Monday won the backing of her German centre-right party for a second term, a source said, putting her in a strong position to secure another five years running the European Union's executive body.
After a meeting of the party leadership in Berlin, Germany's Christian Democrats chose her as their candidate for Commission president, confirming a widespread assumption that von der Leyen would seek another term.
