In a surprising turn of events, Angela Dorn, a prominent Green Party member and former Hessian Minister for Science and Art, has resigned from her position in Hessen's state parliament. Her resignation, effective as of January 2024, has paved the way for Mirjam Glanz to take over her seat.
The Wiesbaden state parliament announced Mirjam Glanz's succession, with the state electoral officer, Wilhelm Kanther, confirming the news via the Greens' state list.

The current composition of Hessen's state parliament stands at 133 members, with Mirjam Glanz now holding one of these seats. The vacancy left by Angela Dorn's resignation as Vice-President remains unfilled.
The reasons behind Angela Dorn's resignation were not specified in the reports, but she stated that she wished to contribute her strength, experience, and joy of shaping outside of political life.
