Overview

  • The state executive convened a special party congress, with the date still to be set, and will ask delegates to re-elect the list for the September 2026 Landtag vote.
  • The leadership proposes naming Bundestag member Claudia Müller as the new lead candidate in place of Constanze Oehlrich, subject to delegate approval, while Oehlrich remains head of the parliamentary group.
  • The Landesvorstand rejected a resignation demand from the Ludwigslust-Parchim district board, stating its members will not step down.
  • An external law firm commissioned by the Green parliamentary group reported it found neither a legal violation nor faulty leadership behavior by Oehlrich.
  • Internal strife continues following the September ousting of deputy leader Hannes Damm, with an internal letter indicating he is to be removed from the parliamentary group by December 9.
