The newly elected Vice-President replaces Eva Kaili (NA, EL) as the fifth VP in the Parliament’s Bureau, according to the European Parliament’s official website.

On Wednesday, in a secret vote, Marc Angel (S&D, LU) received an absolute majority of votes cast and was elected to the office of European Parliament Vice-President, following two rounds of voting.
