  "account": "Nordrhein-Westfalen's Deputy Prime Minister Mona Neubaur will lead the Greens as their top candidate in the 2027 state election. At a party conference in Essen, the 49-year-old Economy Minister secured nearly 85 percent of 271 cast votes, placing her at the top of the party list. Out of 271 delegates, 230 voted for Neubaur, 32 against, and 9 abstained. No opposition candidates were present. Neubaur previously won 82.4 percent of votes in 2022 as the Greens' top candidate at a state party conference. The state election in Germany's most populous federal state on April 25, 2027, is considered one of the most significant elections of the year. Neubaur explained the recipe for success in Wüst's coalition, which led the historically best NRW state election result of 18.2 percent in 2022 and formed the first black-green coalition in state history under Minister-President Hendrik Wüst (CDU). Both sides proudly present the alliance as a government on equal terms. Neubaur emphasized that life in NRW will be different from that in Berlin. \"We have not become quiet in this coalition. But it is not about posing, but about results - about impact without show.\" Pragmatism does not mean less ambition. \"Pragmatism is about making more possible.\" The Greens aim to choose 90 list places in total. Currently, they have 39 members in the five-party parliament of the Düsseldorf Landtag. In recent voter surveys, the Greens in NRW scored between 15 and 18 percent. Recent polls suggest a loss of majority for the Schwarz-Grün coalition, though these are subject to uncertainties.",
  "summary": "Seit Jahren ist Mona Neubaur das Aushängeschild der Grünen in Nordrhein-Westfalen. Nach dem Willen der Basis soll sie ihre Partei auch 2027 in die Landtagswahl führen.",
