German politician and former Green party leader announces pregnancy

Touré is expecting her first child with her partner Robert Habeck, also a Green politician

Aminata Touré, a German politician and former leader of the Green party, announced on Instagram on Monday that she is pregnant with her first child. Touré, 30, is expecting the child with her partner Robert Habeck, also a Green politician and the current Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.

"We are overjoyed and grateful for this wonderful news," Touré wrote in her Instagram post. "We have been looking forward to becoming parents for a long time, and we can't wait to welcome our little one into the world."

Touré's announcement was met with well wishes from her followers and fellow politicians. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz congratulated Touré and Habeck on Twitter, saying that he was "very happy" for them.

Touré's pregnancy is a significant event for the Green party, which has been vocal in its support for reproductive rights and gender equality. Touré herself is a strong advocate for women's rights and has spoken out against sexism and discrimination.

Touré's pregnancy is also a reminder of the changing face of German politics. In recent years, there has been a growing number of women in leadership positions in Germany, including Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
