Overview

  • The Greens’ Landesvorstand officially endorsed Werner Graf as Spitzenkandidat and Bettina Jarasch as co-lead for the September 20, 2026 vote.
  • The early decision, advanced from an initial autumn 2025 plan, seeks to shorten internal debates and present a united progressive alternative to Kai Wegner’s CDU–SPD coalition.
  • A Landesausschuss on October 1 and a series of digital salons will allow members to question the duo on priorities like climate, transport, housing and democratic governance.
  • Co-chairs Nina Stahr and Philmon Ghirmai scheduled a party congress vote on November 22, 2025 to formally ratify the Landesvorstand’s proposal.
  • High-profile figures including Lisa Paus, Daniel Wesener, Antje Kapek and Silke Gebel declined to run, clearing the path for the Graf–Jarasch ticket.
