GREEN Party leader Zack Polanski has set ambitious targets for Wales’s Senedd election next year.

Speaking at the Wales Green Party conference on Saturday, Mr Polanski said that, with the Senedd’s new election system, Green expectations had risen.

Mr Polanski said: “I think the change in the voting system for proportional representation … I think that means the ceiling on the Green Party vote in Wales has massively just been raised.”

He added: “Wales is actually one of the priorities coming up to May, and that’s because we have these huge Senedd elections.

“But also I think it’s a wider question too: about demonstrating in the next general election how we’ll both challenge this failing Labour government and take the fight to Reform.

“I think it’s very possible, if not verging on likely, without being complacent, that we can win two [members].”

For the May 2026 election, Wales will be divided into 16 large constituencies, each one represented by six MSs, with the total number of politicians in Cardiff Bay increasing from 60 to 96. 

The Senedd is the only British parliament in which the Greens have never been represented.
