Parties: Banaszak and Brantner running for Green party leadership again
The recent election successes have buoyed the Greens. Now the top duo is announcing that it wants to continue.
The leaders of the German Greens party, Franziska Brantner and Felix Banaszak, have announced they will seek re-election as co-chairs at the party's congress in early December. They have been in charge since November 2024 and have cited successes in recent state elections, including in Baden-Württemberg, where the Greens won 30.2% and became the leading party, and in Saxony-Anhalt, where they increased their vote share from 5.9% to 8.9%. According to the latest ZDF Politbarometer, the Greens currently have 14% support nationwide.
