Silke Gebel Chosen as Green Party Candidate in Tight Berlin-Mitte VoteSat 17th Jan, 2026The Green Party in Berlin-Mitte has selected Silke Gebel as its direct candidate for the upcoming Berlin House of Representatives election. Gebel, who has served in the Berlin House of Representatives since 2013 and previously led the Green Party's parliamentary group, narrowly secured her nomination. The close margin between the two candidates highlights ongoing debates and divisions within the Green Party's regional membership, particularly among those aligned with the so-called 'Realo' (realist) faction. The Green Party in Berlin has seen significant growth in recent years, positioning itself as a leading force in city politics. As the election approaches, Gebel and the Green Party will seek to build on their established strengths while addressing the concerns and aspirations of Berlin-Mitte's residents.
