Will Gesine Schwan become candidate in the German presidential elections?

Settled as Yes

There is currently debate in Germany as to whether president Horst Köhler will run for a 2nd period of presidency and if so, whether SPD will offer their own candidate for this job. SPD prefers Gesine Schwan but hasn't made a decision yet. Ms Schwan also didn't decide herself if she want to take on the job. Horst Köhler plans to decide it for himself during June and the SPD party will make a decision after this. http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/0,1518,554431,00.html
