Adrian Ramsay to stand for re-election as Greens co-leader with Ellie Chowns

The current co-leader of the Greens is to run for re-election - but with a new partner.

Adrian Ramsay's picked North Herefordshire MP Ellie Chowns to help him lead the party.

She's replacing Carla Denyer, who's decided not to stand again.

Deputy leader Zack Polanski has also launched a leadership bid.

“We’ve both won seats that were previously considered unwinnable,” said Chowns, who overturned a near-25,000 Tory majority to win her North Herefordshire seat. Ramsay’s Waveney Valley constituency, on the Norfolk-Suffolk border, was made up from parts of previously Conservative seats.

“We know what it means to win against the odds. We know what it means to build the biggest possible, most inclusive possible campaign teams, to inspire people to take action that results in previously unthinkable political change,” she added.
