Estonian Parties Name Their Presidential Candidates
Estonia's Centre Party is backing Tallinn University of Technology rector Tiit Land for president, while Isamaa has joined the ruling parties in supporting incumbent Chancellor of Justice Ülle Madise.
Two Estonian political parties have announced which candidates they will support in the upcoming presidential election.
The Centre Party has decided to back Tiit Land, rector of Tallinn University of Technology, as its candidate for the presidency.
Meanwhile, the Isamaa party has aligned itself with the current ruling parties, which already support incumbent Chancellor of Justice Ülle Madise. This gives Madise broader backing from several governing parties, while Land has emerged as the Centre Party's chosen nominee.
With these announcements, two main candidates are now taking shape in Estonia's political landscape ahead of the presidential election, each backed by different political parties.
