Chlöe Swarbrick

Chlöe Swarbrick's achievements are best measured not by trophies but by political milestones. She became the first Green MP to win an electorate seat without a major party leader, and she has successfully defended that seat twice. Her rise to co-leader of the Green Party at age 29 made her one of the youngest party leaders in New Zealand history. Her ability to connect with young voters and her fearless advocacy on climate change have made her a significant force in New Zealand politics, even as she faces the challenges of leading a party in a coalition government.
