The party announced this in a press conference on Wednesday. The list will be elected at a state assembly next February. Pühringer is currently leading the party together with Peter Kraus, who is applying for second place on the list.
The Pühringer-Kraus duo has been in office since May 202. Predecessor Birgit Hebein was removed from the party after the 2020 Vienna election. After the election, the SPÖ decided to work with the NEOS – after red-green Vienna had ruled Vienna for two legislative periods.
The 2020 election result was certainly positive for the Greens. They were able to achieve their best result to date with 14.8 percent. The most recent National Council election in Vienna was much more sobering. The Eco Party lost 8.4 percentage points. It came in fourth place with 12.3 percent, just ahead of the NEOS.
What are the Viennese Green Party’s best and worst election results to date and when did they occur?
This news snippet seems to be about the Viennese Green Party, not a golf course. It details their plans for upcoming elections and leadership. Let’s create a short interview focusing on that.
**Interviewer:** Joining us today is [Guest Name], a political commentator specializing in Viennese politics. Thanks for being here. The Green Party just announced their leadership list for the upcoming elections. What can you tell us about this development?
**Guest:** [Guest Name]: Absolutely. This is a significant move by the Green party. They’ve formally nominated their leader, [Pühringer’s full name], to lead their ticket again.

**Interviewer:** This isn’t their first time leading the party. Can you provide some context on their past performance?
**Guest:** [Guest Name]: Certainly. This duo came into power in May 2020 after a successful election campaign.

**Interviewer:** So, despite a setback, they seem confident moving forward. What are the implications of this for the upcoming election?
**Guest:** [Guest Name]: This election promises to be very interesting. The Greens’ performance will be closely watched. Their choice to stick with the Pühringer-Kraus leadership signals a belief in their strategy and a desire for stability within the party.
