Adrian Ramsay, co-leader of the Green Party since 2021, has launched a fresh leadership bid alongside fellow MP Ellie Chowns following Carla Denyer's withdrawal from the race. This campaign aims to elect them as co-leaders, amidst competition from deputy leader Zack Polanski. The party typically elects co-leaders every two years, but the upcoming nominations open on 2 June. Both Ramsay and Chowns emphasize the need for strong leadership in Westminster to reshape politics and increase Green influence ahead of the general election.
"We need leaders who are at the heart of national politics in Westminster," she said, adding that the pair was "confident that we can win power right across the country and use it to reshape the political landscape."
Ramsay said it was 'time to build on our proven and bold Green leadership', adding that his party 'must be ready to lead - not just to speak up, but to act - and potentially to hold the balance of power.'
