Board elections for the Frankfurt Greens will take place on June 14, 2025, with exciting duels and new initiatives.
Fight for the top: Two women from the Greens are ready in Frankfurt!
The Frankfurt Greens are facing an exciting competition for party leadership. Regular board elections are scheduled for Saturday, June 14th, and the general meeting promises a lot of excitement. As the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports, members have the opportunity to run for office themselves, and the selection could be particularly narrow.
The focus is on two women: Tara Moradi and Natalie Becker. Moradi, a committed political science student, has already made a name for herself as an assessor and is now fighting for the position of speaker. She emphasizes that she primarily wants to advocate for the concerns of the districts outside the center. Her opponent, Natalie Becker, has experience from five election campaigns and plans to establish a strong “Team Frankfurt”.
News in the general meeting
“Something is happening with the Greens!” you can summarize the mood. At the last district general meeting, the creation of an election program for the 2026 local elections was started. Julia Frank, who was previously elected state chairwoman, emphasized the importance of the new members and the boost that the party has received from its over 500 new members since the traffic lights in Berlin went out. Burkhard Schwetje, who acts as co-chairman, sees this growth as a great success for green politics and points to the new mobility master plan as a future strategy.
The assembly, which decided with a focus on respect and fairness, also introduced a writing group to develop the election program. Julia Frank is convinced that this group is essential for a sustainable concept. The Greens' key proposal covers topics such as climate, social justice and urban development, and is intended to focus on the quality of life in the city Frankfurt Greens emphasize.
The political challenges and opportunities
The upcoming local elections in 2026 are already casting their shadows. Mayor Mike Josef, who was sworn in just a year ago after repeated political upheavals, is under pressure to implement his political goals. The Frankfurter Neue Presse reports on the difficulties he has, particularly with his head of construction and education. Their decisions could cost the city millions and have a decisive impact on the future of the SPD in the upcoming election.
The Greens, meanwhile, have their own challenges and opportunities. Head of Transport Wolfgang Siefert successfully advocates for cycling and praises local public transport. This commitment could keep the Greens highly popular with the electorate. But they also face the task of regaining the trust of citizens - an important concern for Burkhard Schwetje, who strives for clear communication and personal conversations.
The challenges are enormous, and the upcoming elections could be groundbreaking for Frankfurt's political landscape. The members of the Green Party are looking forward to active participation in the upcoming general meeting and to an active, committed future.
