2020 Green Party of England and Wales leadership election


The leadership election for the Green Party of England and Wales will take place in summer 2020. It is held routinely every two years. The 2020 election is the seventh since the party decided to have a leader and a deputy leader.

Background

The Green Party elects its leader, deputy leader and seven other senior positions every two years. The rules are that co-leaders will have one deputy, but if there is a single leader elected, they will have two deputies. The election process is also subject to balancing for gender: if there are two co-leaders, they must be of different genders, and if there are two co-deputy leaders, they must also be of different genders.
