Overview

• Carla Denyer announced she will not seek re-election as Green Party co-leader, choosing to focus on her role as MP for Bristol Central.
• Denyer and Adrian Ramsay, co-leaders since 2021, oversaw a period of significant growth, including the party’s rise from one to four MPs and a doubling of councillors.
• Deputy leader Zack Polanski has confirmed his candidacy, advocating for a shift toward a bold, mass-membership 'eco-populism' strategy.
• Adrian Ramsay has yet to decide whether to run for re-election as co-leader or form a new leadership team when nominations open on June 2.
• The leadership election comes as the Greens navigate a competitive five-party political landscape and growing challenges from hard-right forces like Reform UK.
