The new European Parliament convened to elect a new president to replace incumbent Antonio Tajani after a pan-European vote in May.

MEPs previously announced they would elect the head of the assembly on 3 July despite the fact that the European Council hasn't been able to agree upon who should fill the bloc's top spots.

The list of the candidates includes Ska Keller [the European Free Alliance, Germany], Sira Rego [the European United Left/Nordic Green Left, Spain], David-Maria Sassoli [Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, Italy], and Jan Zahradil [Alliance of Conservatives and Reformists in Europe, the Czech Republic].
