party member
A person who has officially joined a political party and supports its goals.
Als langjähriges Parteimitglied durfte sie auf dem Parteitag eine Rede halten.
As a long-standing party member, she was allowed to give a speech at the party conference.
The word is made up of 'Partei' (party) and 'Mitglied' (member). The 's' is a linking sound that makes the connection easier. So it literally describes a person who is a member of a party.
Jedes Parteimitglied hat das Recht, an der Wahl teilzunehmen.
Every party member has the right to take part in the election.
To express membership in a specific party, you usually use the genitive or the preposition 'in' with the dative. Both are correct and common.
Er ist ein Parteimitglied der Grünen.
He is a party member of the Greens.
The base word 'Mitglied' (member) is very productive. You can combine it with many other groups, for example 'Vereinsmitglied' (member of a club) or 'Familienmitglied' (member of a family).
Als neues Vereinsmitglied wurde er herzlich begrüßt.
As a new club member, he was warmly welcomed.
