Overview
- Members of the Pankow Greens are set to choose direct candidates for nine Berlin districts, including Prenzlauer Berg‑West (Wahlkreis 6) where Gelbhaar faces Sunčica Klaas.
- Gelbhaar’s Bundestag career ended after accusations of overstepping behavior toward women, and a party‑commissioned report later found serious procedural errors in how the Greens handled the case.
- The same review noted that several women in the Berlin branch reported possibly overstepping but non‑criminal conduct attributed to Gelbhaar.
- RBB retracted central elements of earlier coverage after doubts about a key complainant’s identity, acknowledging journalistic mistakes.
- Gelbhaar won court rulings restricting statements by Green politician Klara Schedlich about the allegations, and reporting indicates she has appealed, underscoring tensions that could shape the 2026 campaign if he is nominated.
