The 2022 Green Party of Scalizagasti leadership election was held on 1 July 2022. Members of the Green Party of Scalizagasti, a major party in Scalizagasti, voted for a new leader following the removal of Thomas Smith in 2021. After the Green caucus removed Smith, Huvan Group MP Trevor Yibanda served as interim leader between April 2021 and July 2022. Elene Leite, the member of parliament for Garor City—Torlu South narrowly defeated Yanis Ross on the ninth ballot. Leite is the first woman and first person of Torlu Islander descent to lead the party. She is also the first female Torlu Islander to lead any major federal party.
94,211 ballots were cast online between 24 June and 1 July. With 124,802 registered party members by the deadline of 1 June, the total turnout was 75.5%. Votes were cast using a One_member,_one_vote preferential ranked ballot. The results were processed and announced on the evening of 1 July, the first day of the party convention being held that weekend. Leite had the lead on the first ballot with 23,358 votes followed by Ross in second place with 22,500 votes. Leite held her lead until the 6th ballot where Ross overtook her. Finally, Leite regained the lead on the final ballot with 43,775 votes, less than a thousand votes more than Ross' 42,830 votes.
In total, ten candidates ran for party leader: member of parliament Elene Leite, member of parliament and former minister of justice Yanis Ross, former governor of Lamanges Michael Huang, member of parliament Sinclair Order, Haroldston lawyer Sarah Mulyadi, former party president Farhad Mobasseri, business owner Tomás de Sousa, Ecologist Party co-founder Jason Chosfarle, Desitch city councillor Jason Bohr, and author Linda Varlow.
The race was noteworthy for the animosity between the competing left-wing and right-wing of the party. Eco-socialists and green moderates wrestled for control of the leadership after Smith's ousting left a power vacuum. In the end, the "green pragmatist" faction led by Leite was able to defeat the eco-socialist faction under Ross.
