Timeline
Tarek Mohammed Al-Wazir (طارق محمد الوزير; born 3 January 1971) is a German politician of Alliance '90/The Greens who served as deputy to the Hessian Minister-President, and Hessian Minister of Economics, Energy, Transport and Regional Development from 2014 to 2024.
He is a member of the Landtag of Hesse and was co-chair of the Hessian Green Party.
Al-Wazir was born in Offenbach am Main, Hesse, the son of an upper-class Yemeni father and a teacher.
He holds dual citizenship of Yemen and Germany.
His parents divorced while he was a child, and he spent several years of his youth in the Yemeni capital (Sana'a) with his father, an experience he later described as very influential in his personal development.
Al-Wazir joined the German Green Party in 1989, and has been a member ever since.
After his Abitur in 1991, Al-Wazir studied political science in Frankfurt, where he earned a degree.
From 1992 to 1994 he was chair of the party's youth organisation (Green Youth) in Hesse.
He has been a member of the Landtag since 1995 and served as co-chair of the Hessian Green Party (with Kordula Schulz-Asche).
Al-Wazir was the leader of the Greens during the Hesse state election of 2008, and as such was the Green candidate for the position of Minister-President of Hesse.
His party gained 7.5% of the votes.
In the aftermath of the election, he pushed hard for a "red–green–red" coalition consisting of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens, and Die Linke.
This would have succeeded if not for an internal revolt by SPD members, forcing a new election in January 2009.
In the 2009 elections, he again stood as the Green candidate for minister-president.
Surveys showed Al-Wazir to be Hesse's most popular politician at the time of the vote.
This time his party, also benefitting from popular anger at the SPD, increased its share to 13.7% of the vote, but the Greens remained out of government.
On 18 January 2014, after the 2013 state elections, Al-Wazir became Deputy of the Hessian Minister-President Volker Bouffier and Hessian Minister of Economics, Energy, Transport and Regional Development in a Black-Green coalition.
Thus they formed only the third CDU-Green government in Germany's 16 federal states and the first in a big and socially diverse region.
As one of Hesse's representatives at the Bundesrat, Al-Wazir was a member of the Committee on Economic Affairs and the Committee on Transport.
Al-Wazir's surname has been an aptronym since he assumed ministerial office in 2014, as الوزير "al-wazīr" is Arabic for "the government minister."
Al-Wazir was a Green Party delegate to the Federal Convention for electing the president of Germany in 2017.
In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Green Party and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) following the 2021 German elections, Al-Wazir was part of his party's delegation in the working group on mobility, co-chaired by Anke Rehlinger, Anton Hofreiter and Oliver Luksic.
Al-Wazir is married to a Yemeni woman, with whom he has two sons.
They also split time between Germany and Yemen.
