Robert Habeck, Germany's Vice Chancellor and Minister for Economic Affairs, has expressed interest in becoming the Green Party's candidate for Chancellor in the 2025 federal elections.

Despite the challenging political landscape, with the Greens polling at around 11%, Habeck is ready to lead his party into the election.

He emphasizes the need to "correct" the party's positions and create something "new" together.

Habeck's candidacy comes after Annalena Baerbock, the previous Green candidate, announced she would not run again.

He believes the title of Chancellor candidate is less important than building trust and offering a compelling vision for Germany.

Habeck's approach is to return to the party's strong position from 2020/2021, focusing on responsibility and democracy.
