Aminata Touré (born 15 November 1992) is a German politician. She is a member of Alliance '90/The Greens, the German green party. She was elected on 29 June 2017, at the age of 25, to the Landtag of Schleswig-Holstein and has been serving as vice-president of the Landtag since 28 August 2019.
Touré's parents fled to Germany following the 1991 Malian coup d'état. Following her Abitur, she studied political science and French at the University of Kiel, earning her Bachelor degree in 2016. She studied abroad for a semester in 2013-2014 at the Complutense University of Madrid. From 2014 to 2017, she worked for the member of parliament Luise Amtsberg.
In 2012, Touré joined the Kiel Green Youth, and was elected as its speaker in 2013. In 2016, she was elected as an assessor in her state's green party, an office she held until her election to the Landtag in 2017.
Touré was a candidate for the Schleswig-Holstein Green Youth in the 2017 Schleswig-Holstein state election and was number 11 on the party's electoral list. She also simultaneously ran for the single-seat constituency of Neumünster. Touré did not enter the Landtag following the election, as the Green Party only received ten seats; Touré later filled the seat vacated by Monika Heinold, who was named Minister of Finance of Schleswig-Holstein. Within her state parliamentary faction, she is the speaker for Migration, Women & Equality, Children & Youth, LGBT Issues, and Anti-Racism.
Upon Rasmus Andresen's departure for the European Parliament in June 2019, his office as vice-president of the Landtag was vacant, and Touré was elected by the coalition to succeed him on 28 August 2019. She is the first Afro-German, as well as the youngest, Vice President of a Landtag.
