The leadership of the Vienna Greens faces a decisive vote on Saturday at the Expedithalle in Favoriten.
The current duo seeks re-election to keep the positions they have held since 2021, according to Nachrichten.
The assembly begins at 9:30 a.m. It will determine if the pair leads the party through its next term.
Greens vote on leaders and agenda
The meeting follows a theme of “Ein Team.” “Ein Versprechen.”
Members will vote for the party chair. They will also decide on the trust council and several membership motions, Nachrichten said.
The leaders want to address rising rent and public transport costs. They also want to address heat-related measures, ORF reported.
The duo recently criticized a plan to reduce subsidies for the Arena Wien.
District gains and election results
The current leadership previously secured strong support during their tenure.
| Election Year | Vote Percentage |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 83.6 percent |
| 2024 | 76.8 percent |
The Greens achieved a 14.5 percent vote share in the last state election. This nearly equaled their 2020 result of 14.8 percent, ORF reported.
The party expanded its local governance at the district level. They held power in Neubau, Währing, and Josefstadt for some time.
They gained control of a fourth district, Margareten, in 2025, ORF reported. This is the first time since last year that the Greens have held district chairperson positions in four districts.
The Greens moved to the opposition after the 2020 election. They had governed alongside the SPÖ for ten years.
NEOS hold assembly in Vienna
The Greens’ assembly is not the only political gathering in the city on Saturday.
The NEOS meeting does not include personnel elections. Federal leader Beate Meinl-Reisinger and Vienna state leader, Education Minister Christoph Wiederkehr, will appear, Salzburger Nachrichten reported.
