      The 2010 Green Party of England and Wales leadership election took place in September 2010 to determine the leader of the Green Party of England and Wales. It was won unopposed by the incumbent leader, Caroline Lucas.
      At the same time, Adrian Ramsay won re-election as deputy leader after defeating a challenge from the former principal speaker Derek Wall.
      All members of the party were sent ballot papers in the post with their copy of the party's magazine, Green World and voting ended shortly after hustings were held at the party's autumn conference in Birmingham where members who had not already posted their ballot papers could vote in person at conference.


      Background

Caroline Lucas, who had previously been elected as principal speaker, was chosen in 2008 as the first leader of the Green Party, beating Ashley Gunstock to win with more than 90% of the vote.


      Campaign


      Caroline Lucas and Adrian Ramsay campaigned for re-election together and shared materials such as a website and leaflets promoting them both together.
      Derek Wall campaigned with the support of internal group Green Left which he has been an active member of since its formation.
