Chlöe Swarbrick, who represents Auckland Central, has been chosen as the new co-leader of the Green Party.
She steps into this role to work alongside Marama Davidson, taking over from James Shaw. This announcement was made on Sunday, bringing a fresh wave of enthusiasm within the Green Party.
Chlöe expressed her gratitude to the Green Party members for trusting her to guide their collective efforts with Marama. She emphasized the importance of working together to create a better world, where everyone can lead a decent life and nature is cared for.
She highlighted the Green Party’s commitment to this vision, inspired by the principles of te Tiriti o Waitangi.
