Anna Lührmann and Julia Frank Elected as New Leaders of Hessen's Green Party

The duo pledges to strengthen the party's presence in Hessen with a focus on inclusivity, gender representation, and upcoming local elections.

Anna Lührmann was elected unopposed with 88% of the vote, while Julia Frank secured her position with 65.9%, defeating Tobias Dondelinger.
The leadership change follows the resignation of the previous board amid controversy over alleged improper use of party funds, which was later deemed unfounded by prosecutors.
Lührmann, a Bundestag member and former State Minister, emphasized building a 'stronger, louder' Green movement in Hessen, citing 1,500 new members since January.
Frank, former Frankfurt district chair, aims to address rural-urban divides and implement a vision for a 'strong, just, and future-oriented' Hessen.
The party plans a dynamic campaign for the 2026 local elections, focusing on grassroots engagement and addressing challenges posed by the CDU-SPD federal coalition.
