Lead Candidate

The Lead Candidate (German: Spitzenkandidat, Dutch lijsttrekker) is a position found in many parliamentary democracies. The Lead Candidate is a designated candidate for parliament whom a political party promises to voters they will nominate as head of government should they become the governing party as a result of the election.[1] The Lead Candidate can be, but is not necessarily, the party's chief executive officer and/or political leader.[2]
