Party conference - Berlin Greens elect Nina Stahr as new chairwoman
The Berlin Greens have elected Nina Stahr, member of the Bundestag, as their new state chairwoman. She received a clear majority in the first round of voting on Wednesday evening at the continuation of the party conference, which was canceled on Saturday. Stahr received 127 votes in favor, 11 against and 6 abstentions.
Together with current parliamentary group leader Werner Graf, Stahr, who belongs to the realist wing of the party, was already chairwoman of the Berlin Greens from 2016 to 2021. One of her main tasks is to prevent a further escalation of the dispute within the state association. On Wednesday evening, Philmon Ghirmai stood for election as co-leader of the left wing of the party.
The party conference was broken off on Saturday after the Realo wing's candidate for state chair, Tanja Prinz, failed to receive a majority in three rounds of voting.
Although the Greens' constitution stipulates that party office and mandate must be separated, 41-year-old Stahr wants to remain in the Bundestag. Both will only be possible for a transitional period, which will end in May at the latest, when the next state delegates' conference is due to take place.
