Answer
In the 2010 German presidential election, Joachim Gauck was nominated as the joint candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Alliance 90/The Greens. This marked a significant departure from the traditional practice of each party fielding its own candidate, and was seen as a strategic move to increase Gauck's chances of winning against the incumbent, Christian Wulff.
