Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern Greens Confirm Oehlrich to Lead 2026 Ticket as Damm Fails to Make List

The party enters the campaign vulnerable at around five percent in polls, with delegates urging unity after a bruising leadership dispute.

Overview

  • Delegates formally endorsed Constanze Oehlrich at a Wismar assembly, with 66 of 90 votes and a 73.3% result that was the weakest among 21 list candidates.
  • Co‑chair Ole Krüger secured the No. 2 slot with 58.7%, defeating former deputy parliamentary leader Hannes Damm, who did not secure a place on the list.
  • The top of the slate rounds out with Jutta Wegner at three, Sebastian Hüller at four, Maya Tischler at five, and René Fuhrwerk at six.
  • Only Oehlrich and Wegner from the current five Green MPs are in the top six, with Harald Terpe and Anne Shepley not seeking reelection.
  • The conference was overshadowed by the recent removal of Damm as faction vice chair, with Damm alleging poor communication and a rejected mediation as party youth leaders warned the feud risks votes.
