Green Party: Carla Denyer to step down as co-leader
Bristol Central MP confirms she will 'hand over the baton to the new leadership team in the Autumn'
www.businessgreen.comHere’s what’s known about Carla Denyer recently:
- In May 2025, Carla Denyer announced she would not stand again as Green Party co-leader, focusing instead on her role as MP for Bristol Central. This marked a leadership transition for the Green Party with plans for an Autumn leadership handover.[1][4]
- In May 2026, reports indicate she took a public leave of absence from parliamentary duties to focus on health and burnout recovery, with statements noting persistent health issues and the intention to return after recovery.[2][3]
If you’d like, I can pull the latest updates from specific outlets or summarize how these developments affect the Green Party leadership and Bristol Central representation. Also, I can look for official Green Party or Carla Denyer statements to verify current status. Would you like me to do that?
