Lamara Craine has been appointed as the new leader of the Isle of Man Green Party.

The Ramsey Commissioner replaces Andrew Langan-Newton, who has led the party since its founding in 2016.

Having been deputy leader since 2019, Lamara has been involved in a range of high profile green causes including the Elm Tree Protest, the Die In at Tynwald and serving on the board in Ramsey.

She said: ‘It’s an honour to be elected as Leader of the Party at our AGM. I appreciate the hard work and effort that our former Leader, and our former Chair, put in to make the Party the success it is today. Our organisation has an important role to play in the progress and development of the Isle of Man.

‘I hope that I can help lead the party in such a way that it assists in bringing positive change, to be a leading example of how a nation can be ran for the benefit of all, and achieving our goal to make the island a better place to live.’

Other new roles in the party see Falk Horning replacing Andrew Bentley as chairman, Andrew moving from leader to secretary, while Tim Roberts is the treasurer.
