When he was re-elected as the Berlin Greens chairman in March 2013, at the first conflict-free party congress of the Berlin Greens, like his colleague, he achieved an unusually good result for a Green party conference with over 95 percent of the vote, which was by far a record.

In October 2015, Wesener was nominated together with Bettina Jarasch, Antje Kapek and Ramona Pop at a state party conference as a member of the green top team for the House of Representatives election on September 18, 2016 . He was elected to the House of Representatives from his party's state list. There he is the parliamentary manager of the Green Group.
