Germany's Schaeuble wins party endorsement for September election

SINDELFINGEN, Germany, Mar 25 (Reuters) German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, a key figure in Berlin's handling of the euro zone crisis and Greece's bailout programmes, won a ringing endorsement from his conservative party today to stand in September's federal election.
With 95 per cent support, 74-year-old Schaeuble secured first place on the conservative Christian Democrats' (CDU) list of candidates in the southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg for the federal election to be held on September 24.
Germany has a mixed-member proportional voting system under which voters cast two ballots: one directly for a candidate in his or her constituency and the second for a party. Seats from the second vote are allocated from the parties' lists.
