Welcome to the scoop on the latest shakeup in Brandenburg politics! The Green Party of Brandenburg has elected Andrea Lübcke and Clemens Rostock as their new joint leaders. The voting results were as follows: Lübcke secured 81 votes, equivalent to 60.5%, while Rostock beat out other contenders with an impressive 117 votes, which added up to 88%.

Now let's talk about what these new co-chairs have up their sleeves. Lübcke has made it clear that she's a fierce advocate for climate change solutions, social justice, and democracy. She emphasized the urgent need to boost the Green Party's presence in rural areas, saying, "We need a new awakening; we're not fighting for 5 or 6 percent."
As for Rostock, he's a returning figure in the spotlight, having previously been in charge of the state party from 2014 to 2019. He called for a more progressive political stance, greater liberal policies, and stronger environmental initiatives, asserting, "The solution to all of this is Alliance 90/The Greens." Rostock also didn't shy away from criticizing the SPD.
The previous co-chairs, Hanna Große Holtrup and Alexandra Pichl, decided not to run for re-election to pave the way for a fresh start after the Green Party's disappointing performance in the state election. Since 2024, the party has been out of the picture in Brandenburg's state parliament.
