The Green Party leadership race is defined by a contest between Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns, who focus on a structured and electoral approach, and Zack Polanski, who advocates for a radical eco-populism movement. Since 2021, Ramsay has co-led the party, and following Carla Denyer's decision not to run again, he teamed up with Chowns for the election. Polanski, as deputy leader, emphasizes the need for the party to address the rise of Reform UK, which has significantly outstripped the Greens in membership and local election success. Ramsay and Chowns defend their leadership model based on their electoral victories in traditionally Conservative areas.
