2015 Green Party (Czech Republic) leadership election

The 2015 Green Party (Strana zelených) leadership election in the Czech Republic was held to elect the leader of the party. The election took place at the Green Party's congress on January 24-25, 2015, in Prague.

Jana Drápalová, the incumbent leader, was challenged by Matěj Stropnický, then a deputy mayor of Prague 3. The election was seen as a contest between the party's established figures and a younger generation advocating for a more assertive and visible approach. Drápalová emphasized her experience and continuity, while Stropnický promised to revitalize the party and broaden its appeal, particularly among younger voters.

Stropnický won the election with a clear majority, receiving 65% of the vote compared to Drápalová's 35%. His victory marked a generational shift within the Green Party and signaled a desire for a more active and vocal leadership.

Following the election, Stropnický outlined his priorities, which included strengthening the party's presence in regional and national politics, focusing on environmental protection and social justice issues, and building alliances with other progressive parties.
