In 2026 Hanover is a successful countermodel against the regressive federal politics.
Instead of ecological regression, social diversion and political culture clash we rely on dialogue, pragmatic solutions, social security and real progress.
At the local election on 13 September 2026 the green party will aim to stay the strongest power in the city council. With Belit Onay as Lord Mayor we will get into action for a livable, social, modern and diverse city of Hanover.
