EU lawmakers began voting Thursday on whether to hand European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen a second five-year term.

Some 719 MEPs gathered for the secret ballot just after 1100 GMT in the European Parliament's first sitting in Strasbourg, France, since June elections.

The results of the vote should be announced after 1230 GMT. Von der Leyen needs the support of at least 361 lawmakers.
