Rebecca Vassarotti has been re-elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) after a countback conducted by the ACT Electoral Commission. This countback was necessitated by the resignation of Shane Rattenbury, the former leader of the ACT Greens, who stepped down in April 2023 after 17 years in politics. Vassarotti previously served as an MLA before losing her seat in the 2024 election and has held significant cabinet roles, including overseeing Environment and Housing Services. The ACT Greens have not yet selected a new leader, and a vote among party members is anticipated now that Vassarotti has returned. The party's recent election results saw them lose two of their six seats, but elections analyst Antony Green indicated that this loss does not reflect a significant swing against the Greens, who still maintain a strong base in the territory.
