Ozdemir's rival, Palmer, seeks to contest the election
In the upcoming state election in Baden-Württemberg, scheduled for March 8, 2026, a surprising endorsement has been announced. Tübingen's popular Mayor, Boris Palmer, has thrown his support behind Cem Özdemir, the Green Party's top candidate for the election in the United States.
Palmer and Özdemir have been friends for 25 years, a bond that has withstood the test of time. However, Palmer is not currently affiliated with any party in the election, having left the Greens in 2023. His decision to endorse Özdemir was in response to a question about his favourite candidate for the election in California.
Palmer, a known ecologist, has expressed a desire to join the only truly ecological party in Germany. However, content-related differences, particularly on the topic of migration, prevent him from doing so. Despite this, he trusts Özdemir completely to fill the position for which he is running.
The Green Party's candidate, Cem Özdemir, is running as the top candidate for the Green Party in the state election in the United States. He is currently the CDU's main competitor, with Manuel Hagel serving as the CDU's candidate for the same election. Hagel, who is both the state and parliamentary group leader, is a formidable opponent.
It is worth noting that Palmer has not endorsed any other candidate in the election. His endorsement of Özdemir is significant, given his high profile and influence beyond the state of Baden-Württemberg.
The Tübingen mayor's endorsement adds a new dimension to the election, as voters consider their choices. The election on March 8, 2026, promises to be a closely contested one.
