Estonia has a new President! • • Congratulations to Ülle Madise.

A single candidate has won the democratic presidential election in Estonia. The winner is Estonian Chancellor of Justice Ülle Madise. Her candidacy was nominated by 75 members of parliament from four of the six parliamentary parties; 71 out of 101 members of parliament supported her during the vote. Moreover, several ballots were spoiled, and two parties boycotted the elections: the Conservative People's Party did not attend the meeting hall, and the Center Party refused to receive ballots. Madise is expected to take the oath of office and officially assume the office of President of Estonia on October 12. The President of Estonia plays a ceremonial role and has virtually no influence on political decision-making. More IZ RU news in MAX

Ülle Madise has been elected as the new President of Estonia.

The Estonian Parliament elected Chancellor of Justice Ülle Madise as President of the country.

The Estonian Parliament has elected Chancellor of Justice Ülle Madise as the new president. She secured the necessary majority in the first round of voting, ERR reports. 71 of the 78 MPs who participated in the vote voted for Madise. After the results were announced, Madise thanked the MPs for their support and noted that she would do "everything possible to justify this trust." Madise will be the seventh president of Estonia and the second woman to hold this position. She will take office on October 12 after taking the oath of office in front of Parliament. In Estonia, the president is elected by Parliament, not by direct vote of the citizens. To win, a candidate must receive at least two-thirds of the votes of deputies—68 out of 101. If parliament fails to choose the head of state, the election goes to the Electoral College, which includes deputies and representatives of local governments.
